Public Safety





You're safe in Germany

There are areas in every city that women or men should avoid--in Germany as well. Caution is well advised, but fear isn’t called for. Germany is a relatively safe country, even though a country without crime has yet to be discovered. But if you follow a few rules, it’s relatively safe—for a woman or a man—to go about daily life in Germany.

- Depending on the neighborhood, it can be wise to avoid dark and deserted areas. Parking garages often have parking spaces near the entrance designated for women.
- A woman should only meet a man she doesn’t know well in a place where other people are present.
- When looking at a new apartment, always be sure a companion is there with you.
- In an emergency you can call the Police from any telephone booth free of charge by dialling 110.
