A friend of mine living there works around it by using „Quadrat A1 1“ (translated: square A1 1 - since most blocks are roughly a square in Mannheim) and it seems to work okay.

But the naming in Mannheim causes a lot of issues, I remember early navigation systems having a hard time with the format. A IIRC TomTom even crashed when trying to announce the street.




That is actually a pretty clever solution, I wish I had thought of that back then.
