📍 Geographic Location of Remagen
Geographic Overview
The German area code 02642 is assigned to the geographic region of Remagen, a historic town located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). Remagen sits on the left bank of the Rhine River, approximately 20 kilometers south of Bonn. The code covers the city of Remagen itself and its surrounding districts, including Oberwinter, Rolandseck, and the neighboring communities of Sinzig (partially) and Bad Breisig (in some outlying areas). This is a classic PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) geographic code, administered under the German National Numbering Plan (ITU-T E.164).
Dialing Formats
When calling a Remagen landline from within Germany, you must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber's local number. For example, a local number might be dialed as:
- 02642 123456 (national format)
From abroad, you need to replace the leading zero with Germany's country code +49, so the same number would be dialed as:
- +49 2642 123456 (international format)
Local calls within the Remagen area (same area code) can be made using only the subscriber number, without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format when dialing from mobile phones or other networks.
Numbering and Overlays
Subscriber numbers in the 02642 area code typically have a length of 5 to 7 digits, resulting in a total number length of 10 to 12 digits when including the country code and area code. There are no overlay codes currently assigned to this region, meaning that 02642 is the sole area code for Remagen. This simplifies dialing, as there is no need for 10-digit dialing within the region.
Caller Instructions
For callers within Germany: Dial 0 + 2642 + subscriber number. For callers from outside Germany: Dial your international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 49 + 2642 + subscriber number. Note that when dialing from a mobile phone, you may use the + symbol in place of the international access code: +49 2642 + subscriber number.
This area code is used for fixed-line services, including traditional analog lines, ISDN, and VoIP-based landlines that are registered to a physical address in the Remagen area. If you are calling a business or residence, ensure you have the correct subscriber number, as numbers are not portable to mobile networks in the same way as mobile prefixes.
