IP ranges in Germany

This page lists the IPv4 address blocks registered to organisations in Germany and checks single addresses. The basics of IP addresses, masks and subnets are in Networks; the other countries are in IP ranges by country.

Germany in numbers

The 48 countries here hold 725,908,608 IPv4 addresses; Germany has 126,282,368 in 10,817 blocks, 17.4% of the total, rank 2 of 48. The country just above it is the United Kingdom with 138,643,520 addresses (19.1%), the one just below France with 81,555,536 addresses (11.2%). There are 10,817 blocks: 7,616 allocated (70.4%) and 3,201 assigned (29.6%). The oldest block was delegated in 1984 and the newest in 2026; 2019 is the year with the most new blocks. The largest share of the addresses, 56,389,184 of 126,282,368 (44.7%), came in the 2000s. The same RIPE file lists 3,109 IPv6 prefixes and 3,262 AS numbers for Germany.

Check an IP address

Type an IPv4 address. The answer comes from the Sypex Geo database on this server; like every geolocation database it can be wrong, especially about the city.

Where the list comes from

IP addresses are handed out by five regional internet registries. For Germany the registry is RIPE NCC, which publishes every day which address blocks it has delegated to which country. A block registered in Germany is usually used there, but not always: a company may use its addresses abroad, and a VPN makes any visitor look like someone else.

The table below is the RIPE file of 2026-10-29: 10,817 blocks with 126,282,368 addresses. The largest block holds 16,777,216 addresses and starts at 53.0.0.0.

Get the list yourself

Download the statistics file of RIPE NCC:

curl -s -O https://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest

The first line says when it was made; the sixth field is the date:

head -1 delegated-ripencc-latest

2|ripencc|1793314799|167770|19700101|20261029|+0100

Each later line is one block: registry, country, type, first address, number of addresses, date and status. The IPv4 blocks of Germany, sorted by first address:

awk -F'|' '$2=="DE" && $3=="ipv4"' delegated-ripencc-latest | sort -t'|' -k1,1V | head -3

ripencc|DE|ipv4|2.28.0.0|262144|20100921|allocated ripencc|DE|ipv4|2.56.11.0|256|20190313|allocated ripencc|DE|ipv4|2.56.20.0|1024|20190313|allocated

How many blocks, and how many addresses they hold together:

awk -F'|' '$2=="DE" && $3=="ipv4"' delegated-ripencc-latest | wc -l

10817

awk -F'|' '$2=="DE" && $3=="ipv4" {s+=$5} END {print s}' delegated-ripencc-latest

126282368

allocated means RIPE gave the block to a provider (a LIR) to hand out further; assigned means it went to an end user directly.

Who owns a block

The statistics name no owners. The RIPE database does: ask it with whois for any address of a block, and look at the lines netname, descr and org:

whois 53.0.0.1
