The part of ISO 3166-2 that applies to Germany provides codes for the names of the 16 states of Germany (Länder).

Note: These ISO geocodes might be copyrighted.

The first part is the ISO 3166-1 code DE for Germany; the second part is two-digit-alphabetic.

Notes

The codes for Bremen and Hamburg incorporate an "H" for Hansestadt as their first letter. The codes for Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) and Saxony-Anhalt avoid the more intuitive but historically tainted NS (for Nationalsozialismus) and SA (for Sturmabteilung).
