The Domestic Protocol Office of the Federal Government of Germany has published a guide Ratgeber für Anschriften und Anreden (Guide to addresses and forms of address) which summarizes how the Federal Government of Germany handles the addressing of persons when conducting government business domestically. While the guide is not binding outside of the government conducting business it is nevertheless a good source when it comes to contemporary polite and formal forms of addressing persons.
