In the summer of 2007, Marcus Hochstadt envisioned—and, ultimately, set out to build—a comprehensive online guide to Germany and its pulsating cities, quaint villages, magnificent regions, and soothing corners. After thorough contemplation, the pipe dream got a name, a design, and a home page.
19+ years later, MyGermanCity.com is now offering an extensive, one-of-a-kind guide with 9,860 pages of tips, covering the whole shebang from major hubs to secret spots. Marcus has spent a lifetime exploring destinations, uncovering local stories, and sharing what makes each place unique.
So, Who Is Marcus Anyway?
What is he doing? What has Marcus found?
He forgot, but he’s on a tireless worldwide hunt for the long forgotten. One day, he may wake up under a Bo-Tree (laptop in hand, of course) realizing he’d already found it decades ago. Who knows?
Three things are crystal clear, though: Marcus is German (oops!), deeply passionate about Germany—statistically the most beloved country worldwide—and he kicked off this whole frenzy.
