EMEREGENY HELP - POLICE If you require the police in an emergency call 110
The telephone number 110 is a free emergency phone number. For this reason it should only be used in case of emergency. Please understand that in any other case the call will be terminated immediately. If it is urgent the officers will make sure, even while you are phoning, that the police or the rescue services get to the location as quickly as possible.
When you call the emergency phone number 110 you will be asked the following questions WHAT - What has happened? (Accident, e.g. with casualties, seriousness of the injuries, burglary) WHERE - Where did it happen? (Town / street) WHEN - When did it happen? (Date / time of day) HOW MANY - Number of injured or involved persons WHO - Who is calling? (Your name, your address and telephone number)
For less urgent matters and if you require information please contact the police station responsible in your area or approach a nearby police officer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have no information about the English speaking capabilities of the Police when you ring. Should you encounter problems then I advise going straight to the local Leipzig Police Station.
LEIPZIG POLICE STATION The police station in Leipzig is located to the rear of the Novotel, close to the Ibis Hotel and very close to the old location of the Darkflower Nightclub. If you walk up Ritterstraße (with the Ibis behind you) then you will see the police station half way up on the right hand side. There are normally a couple of police cars parked outside across the road.

EMERGENCY HELP - MEDICAL CARE Healthcare facilities in Leipzig are excellent, and if you are a citizen of an EU country, you will be entitled to free emergency healthcare as long as you can produce a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Non EU citizens are not entitled to free healthcare and additional medical cover is also highly recommended, as should the unforeseen happen, medical bills can be extremely high. If possible take your medical insurance details to the hospital/clinic if you need medical care.
