Dialing Formats

For callers within Germany, the number is dialed as 09340 followed by the local subscriber number. For international callers, the format is +49 9340 followed by the subscriber number, omitting the leading zero. For example, a local number might be dialed as 09340 123456 domestically and +49 9340 123456 from abroad.

Administrative and Regulatory Context

This is a geographic area code, meaning it is tied to a specific physical location. The allocation is managed by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). As with most German geographic codes, number portability may allow subscribers to retain their numbers when moving within the same local area, but the code is not intended for nomadic use.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within the Königheim-Brehmen area can often dial the subscriber number without the area code, depending on the local dialing plan. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always include the area code when dialing from a mobile phone or from outside the immediate local network.
• Domestic long-distance callers from other parts of Germany must dial 0 before the area code: 0 9340.
• International callers should dial the German country code +49, then the area code without the leading zero: +49 9340.

Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for this area, meaning 09340 is the sole area code for the region. The subscriber numbers typically have a length of 4 to 7 digits, resulting in a total number length (including the area code) of 9 to 11 digits when dialed internationally. As part of Germany's numbering plan, the maximum length for geographic numbers is 11 digits (excluding the country code).

Services and Usage

Numbers under this code are primarily used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. Businesses and residents in the area rely on these numbers for local communication. When calling from abroad, be mindful of time zones (CET/CEST) and any applicable international tariffs. For emergency services, always dial 112 (EU-wide) regardless of the area code.
