The Postcodes are provide by Deutsche Post AG, a formal state owned, now private Company. The Postcodes can be accessed via an online Service https://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/ However the underling datasets are not available for download and are not free of charge. Geospatial data (polygon vectors) are available from unofficial sources: here https://datahub.io/dataset/postal-codes-de/resource/1f25cb5a-8810-40f1-9fc1-5cef0163ebd3 or here https://download.geonames.org/export/zip/
