Area codes in Germany all start with a 0. To dial an international call, you dial 00 and then the country code. Area codes and phone numbers in Germany are variable length: the bigger the city, the shorter the area code, so that 089 is Munich, but 07252 is some small town somewhere.

You can tell that a number is toll free if it starts with 0800; older toll free numbers might still use the 0130 prefix, which will be abandoned for the internationally more common 0800. On older coin phones without an LCD display, you might have to insert 20 Pfennige to place a toll free call. Don't worry, you get it back after the call.
