Region vs. Telephone Area
A German local network area does not necessarily match municipal or state boundaries. Germany also observes seasonal daylight saving time, and mobile prefixes cannot reliably identify a current operator after portability.
A code listed beside a city reflects the featured numbering association; it does not assert that every community in North Rhine-Westphalia uses that code or that the code stops at the administrative border.
