At the bell next to the apartment door, not on the entrance to the building.


In my city (Leipzig), all apartments have these. All the last names are listed on doorbells, and you have a phone in your flat, from which you can unlock the apartment building's front door without coming down.

So, in total, your name is three places in the apartment: at the entrance next to a doorbell (which effectively "calls" your flat), on your mailbox, and above the actual doorbell near your flat's front door.


I live in Leipzig and I have no name on the doorbell near my flat door. If they deliver a packet to a neihgbor I have to go out and ring the doorbell at the entrance, or guess which apartment it is :)


Of course there is a name next to each bell. How would you ask to be let inside otherwise?
