Germany.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type F, Type C.

Schuko country: every socket is a recessed Type F with side earthing clips, and every light-duty device arrives on a Type C europlug that fits it. Visitors from the rest of continental Europe plug straight in; the UK, Ireland and North America need an adapter — and North American 120 V appliances also need to be dual-voltage.

The voltage window

A nominal 230 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 207 and 253 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
