Hi @Elena,

For what concernes your question specifically, here are the Emergency Numbers you are looking for ( remember they are Valid anywhere in Germany)

    Police 110 or 112
    Fire Brigade 112
    Ambulance 112

To these I would also like to add a few others that might be useful in other situations (also valid all over Germany)

Roadside Assistance

    Central Information ADAC (0180) 5 10 11 12
    Road Assistance ADAC (01802) 22 22 22
    Road Assistance ACE (01802) 34 35 36
    Road Assistance AVD (0691) 66060

Other Important Numbers

    Emergency Poison Help Line (0761) 192 40
    Berlin Lost Property (030) 69 65
    Disabled Travelers (0511) 56 70
    Alcoholics Anonymous (089) 316 95 00
    German Youth Hostel Association (05231) 99360
    AIDS Help (030) 690 08 70

A free advice line is available for psychological emergencies. These first responders for emotional problems can be reached on

 Elderly people: 0800-111 0 550
 Young people: 0800-111 0 333
 Crisis telephone for life, depression and family counseling:  0800 111 0111 or 0800 111 0222

Hoping you won't need to call these numbers anytime soon, it's always good to know a few extra numbers and being informed about the kind of help we can receive here in Germany.

Best,
Paolo
