110 and 112 with problems

The widespread failure of the emergency numbers 110 and 112 was apparently caused by a technical error, Telekom, which is responsible for the infrastructure, told heise online. The cause of the malfunction is presumably due to the installation of new software, which did not cause any problems during the original tests.

A detailed analysis of the problem is still being carried out, but Telekom is currently ruling out the possibility of a cyber attack. In the early morning of November 11, there was a disruption in the accessibility of emergency call centers in various regions of Germany during routine maintenance work.

Police, fire and rescue services could not be reached via 110 and 112 from around 4:30 a.m. onwards. By 5:40 a.m., the fault had already been rectified, so that all control centers were once again accessible without restriction. Telekom reported the fault to the BSI and the Federal Network Agency in accordance with legal requirements.

The emergency number 112 has been toll-free throughout the European Union since 2003 for emergency calls to police, fire and rescue services. In the meantime, the number is also used in many other countries that have an emergency call center.
