West German(pre-unification) postmarks

Can any of you "boffins" identify a couple of postmarks please - on
1975 technology definitives.

First is postcode 2807 and begins with CH - remainder of word
illegible.

Second is postcode 4223 (illegible) -RDE/NIEDER - (off stamp).

Does anyone know a website listing the old pre-unification 4 figure
postcodes? (used on postmarks - i.e. not "delivery" codes ).

Thanks in advance

Google is your friend. (But you have to prefix the postcode
with D- and search only German pages.)

2807 = Achim (Bz Bremen)
4223 = Voerde (Niederrhein)

The town your looking for do not begin with ch, but with ach - it is
2807-Achim(Weser).
Postcode 4223 I could not identify yet.

Jay's comment to include the D- (or DDR-) in front of the postcode
is essential as duplicate numbers existed in West and East Germany
at the same time.

For example:

Here is a 1990 DDR address for DDR-2807:

Krankenhaus Neu-Kaliss
Allgemeines Krankenhaus
Strasse des Friedens 8-8c
DDR 2807 Neu-Kaliss
Deutsche Demokratische Republik
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neu_Kali%C3%9F

By 1992, this post code had become:
19294 Neu-Kaliss
Bundesrepublik Deutschland

and here is an old one for D-2807:
VERFAHRENSTECHNIK GMBH & CO. KG
Finienweg 7,
Achim-Baden,
D-2807
Bundesrepublik Deutschland

By 1992, this code had become:
28832 Achim
Bundesrepublik Deutschland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achim

Thank you very much indeed. I had found a postcode site but it was
only for the new postcodes which I use for current stamps.

Hi again,

I just looked for an old post code book and ordered one from a book
seller. It should be available next week.

kind regards

Gerhard

P.S.: Post codes beginning with "4" were in the region of Düsseldorf,
Nordrheinwestfalen

Hi Jay, Hi Peter

Postcode 4223 was Voerde/Niederrhein. May be also spelled Vörde/Niederrhein.
