It also excludes any zipcode starting with a 3, 5 and 9. They are perfectly valid however and also used in Germany. Also see:

This regex validates a lot of unallowed postal codes,
For example, postal codes do not start with 00, 05, 43 and 62.
There are also a lot of misstakes in the description,
Niedersachsen (NI) e.g. uses the postal code ranges
21202-21449
48442-48465
48478-48480
A detailed list of all valid ranges for every state is listed here:
