Reference information:
http://www.deutschepost.de//mlm.nf/dpag/images/a/addressfact... says that the "Frachtleitcode" is equivalent to the "Information für die Barcodierung von Paketen".

See text on page 5 of the PDF:
"Ergänzung des Leitcodes
Auf Wunsch kann der Frachtleitcode, also die Information für die Barcodierung
von Paketen, hinzugefügt werden."
