!!!Postleitzahlen

Postal Code, a system introduced in Austria on 
January 1, 1966 to streamline the distribution service and 
to fully automate the distribution of letters. The Austrian Postal 
Codes have four digits: the first digit is the area code (Vienna: 1, 
Lower Austria: 2 and 3, Upper Austria: 4, Salzburg.: 5, North Tirol 
and Vorarlberg: 6, Burgenland: 7, Styria: 8, Carinthia and East Tirol: 
9), the second the district code, the third the routing code (by train 
or by car), and the last digit indicates the post office of 
destination, each post office having its own code number. In Vienna, 
however, the second and third digits of the postal code stand for the 
respective administrative district of the city.
