Title: Postcode for Germany

Comment:
For Germany it should be
^[D]{1}( |-){0,1}?[0-9]{5}$
Postcodes in Germany may start with a leading 0
(e.g. 04315 Leipzig)

Nope, the A in first letter of the example just stands for a letter, All kinds of letter kan be used.

instead

Normally the first letter 'D-' is optional; you just use it for communication with foreign countries. Within Germany it isn't used!

After the reunification, German postcodes were reassigned and have now five digits.
So I guess ^[A-Z]{1}( |-)?[1-9]{1}[0-9]{4}$
is the current match. But a first letter must be D.
In Switzerland the post codes have a format like CH-1234.
