Find services in German

Where these came from

These come from 72 different sources, led by exteriores.gob.es (220), a German diplomatic mission (194) and the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (159). Consular lists are the reason a language turns up far from where it is spoken: a mission publishes the doctors and lawyers its own citizens can talk to, which is a language claim someone else made in public and we can point at.

1697 of the 1718 sit on an official list. The rest rest on the provider saying so, or on a directory that says it of its whole roster, which is a weaker claim and is labelled as such on every card.

What this page is not

The coverage is not even across services: lawyers account for 684 of the 1718, while tax advisers account for 1. That reflects which professions get published in language-tagged lists, not which ones exist.

Questions

How many German-speaking providers are listed?

1718, in 140 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not an estimate of how many exist.

Where is German easiest to find?

Paris with 149, Athens with 127 and Rome with 123. Together that is 23% of this page.

Does a listing mean the provider speaks German personally?

Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include a German speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used so you can judge it.

All 329 cities in the directory, in every language we cover.
