Best Public and ISP DNS Servers in Germany (184 Servers)

Want to test and find out the fastest DNS server for Germany? Benchmark your default DNS against providers like DNS.SB or Deutsche Telekom AG, or servers in Hesse or North Rhine-Westphalia. Download the DNSSpeedTester Desktop App to benchmark your default DNS against these providers using UDP, DoH, DoT, and Ping, measuring all results directly from your device for maximum accuracy. Just export these IPs using the Export All button below, or check the boxes next to specific providers for a custom list, and load them into the app! (You can also use the export icon on any individual card). Since these lists primarily contain IPv4 addresses (which use UDP), the Desktop App is required for full compatibility. For testing DoH (DNS over HTTPS), you can import the file directly into the Web App. You can also self-host the app on your own infrastructure to run private tests inside isolated networks. If you ever want to revert your test list back to the original domains and servers, just click Reset to Defaults in the app's settings.

Frequently Asked Questions About DNS in Germany

What is the fastest DNS server in Germany?

Global Anycast providers like Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco OpenDNS are typically the fastest worldwide. Unless you are using one of these global networks, the fastest DNS server depends on your location and ISP. Testing multiple DNS providers is the most accurate way to find the best option. Some of the top providers in Germany include DNS.SB, Deutsche Telekom AG, and Hetzner.

Which DNS is best for gaming in Germany?

For gaming in Germany, low DNS latency matters more than bandwidth. DNS.SB, Deutsche Telekom AG, and Hetzner's local resolvers reduce round-trip lookup time compared to routing queries to distant servers. Use the DNSSpeedTester app to benchmark them against your current DNS under load.

What are the most popular DNS IP addresses in Germany?

Based on server availability, DNS.SB, Deutsche Telekom AG, and Hetzner are among the most popular and widely available DNS servers in Germany.

Can changing DNS increase internet speed?

Changing DNS does not increase bandwidth, but it can reduce website lookup delays and make browsing feel faster.
