If you are used to US standards of allery awareness you will be highly disappointed in Germany. For unknown reasons, food allergies are not really "that popular" in Germany. Furthermore, we are by far more used to fresh home cooking, so if you have an allergy, you might have a tendency to avoid restaurants or certain types of restaurants. In a normal German restaurant you will hardly find the hint "might contain traces of nuts" or similar....
Regarding 911: 112 will do the trick (almost?) all over Europe
