As I understand the German system their phone system passes the  
complete dialled number so can pass extra digits as many German  
subscribers use ISDN even for domestic telephony. It's something not  
all international carriers understand so sometimes sending faxes is  
difficult as subscribers in germany add the extra digit to tell their  
system that it's the fax extension.

In the UK we have 6,7,8, and 11 digit local dialling and 8, 10 and 11  
digit national dialling.

Situations like these make it easier to use a access digit to gain  
external dialling.
