📍 Geographic Location of Feuchtwangen
Geographic Overview
The German area code 09852 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the administrative district of Feuchtwangen, located in the state of Bavaria (Bayern). Feuchtwangen lies in the Franconia region, approximately 60 kilometers southwest of Nuremberg, and is part of the Ansbach district (Landkreis Ansbach). The code serves the city of Feuchtwangen and its surrounding municipalities, including the districts of Aichenzell, Banzenweiler, Breitenau, and others integrated into the urban area.

Dialing Formats
When dialing from within Germany, callers must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber's local number. The complete national format is 0 9852 [subscriber number]. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 9852 123456. From outside Germany, callers must replace the leading zero with the German country code +49, resulting in the international format +49 9852 123456. When dialing internationally, the area code is used without the leading zero, and the plus sign (+) represents the international access prefix (00 in most countries).
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the 09852 area, it is common to dial only the subscriber number for calls within the same local network, but for clarity and consistency, the full national format is recommended. For callers from other German regions, simply dial 09852 followed by the local number. For international callers, always use +49 9852 and omit the initial zero. Note that some VoIP providers may require the international format even for domestic calls, so always check your provider's dialing rules.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T and German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) allocations, there is no overlay code for 09852; the area code is unique to Feuchtwangen. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when moving to different providers, but the geographic significance remains tied to the original location. The maximum subscriber number length is typically 7 digits, making the total national number length 11 digits (including the leading zero), and the international number length 12 digits (including the country code but excluding the plus sign).
