Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries the apartment number usually follows the street name, separated by a slash or hyphen (e.g., Hauptstraße 12/3). When you ask for "Wohnungsnummern" you are typically referring to the numbers after the slash. In formal writing you would write the full address: "Musterstraße 12, Wohnung 3".
