Emergencies in Germany

The nationwide emergency number is 112. It is used for any type of emergencies (medical, fire, police). These numbers can be dialled toll-free from any phone, including phone booths and mobile phones (SIM-card required!). If you're reporting an emergency, the usual guidelines apply: stay calm and state your exact location, the type of emergency and the number of persons involved. Don't ever hang up — the operator will terminate the call if all the questions about the emergency are answered. There are emergency telephones interspersed along the main motorways. You can find the closest SOS-phone by the arrows on the reflection posts. Ambulances can be summoned via the national toll-free emergency number 112 and will help you regardless of insurance issues. All except for the smallest private hospitals (Krankenhäuser) have 24-hour emergency rooms able to cope with all kinds of medical problems although you may have to wait if your problem is not life-threatening.
