That is: 58313 Ostende, Herdecke, Germany
Methinks Ancestry is not a good authority on placenames.

Even in Belgium, there are "Oostende" and "Oosteinde",
while "Ostend" is just English for the first one:
Dutch: Oostende
English: Ostend
French: Ostende
German: Ostende
============
"Oost-e[i]nd[e]" means "East-end" in Dutch, so also in Flemish.
"Ost-ende" is the same in German.
So, indeed, there are many, many places
where the east-end became a location on it's own.
I found:
8400 Oostende, Belgium
2387 Oosteinde, Belgium
Oosteind, Waalwijk, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands
Oosteind, Oosterhout, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands
Oosteind, Papendrecht, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Eemsnond, Groningen, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Aalsmeer, Noord-Holland, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Berkhout Noord-Holland, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Nunspeet, Gelderland, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Hillegom, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Schoonebeek, Drenthe, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Woerden, Utrecht, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Teylingen, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
Oosteinde, Reeuwijk, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
[in addition there are many streetnames with those names]
2384 Ostende, Breitenfurt bei Wien, Austria
26465 Ostende, Langeoog [island], Germany
49828 Ostende, Georgsdorf, Germany
58675 Ostend, Hemer, Germany
58313 Ostende, Herdecke, Germany
64331 Ostende, Weiterstadt, Germany
Ostende, Pinamar, Argentina
