Germany asks every website run from here to say plainly who is behind it. Good rule. MyGermanCity.com is one person, and that person is me.
No agency, no team.

Germany
Provider of this website within the meaning of § 5 Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz (DDG), the German act on digital services. The street address above is what German law calls the ladungsfähige Anschrift—the address where legal documents can actually be served on somebody. A post office box would not do.

Responsible For The Content
Marcus Hochstadt, at the address above.
German media law wants a named human being who answers for what gets published on a site like this one. The formal wording, for anyone who needs it: Verantwortlich im Sinne des § 18 Abs. 2 MStV. MStV is short for Medienstaatsvertrag, the treaty among the German states that governs media, and it took over from the older Rundfunkstaatsvertrag in 2020.
Privacy, Terms, And Disclosure
What happens to your data is spelled out in the privacy policy. The rules for using this site, together with the copyright and liability notices, live in the terms of use. Which links here can earn money, and what that money cannot buy, is covered on the disclosure page.
One last thing, and it is the reason this page runs longer than the law requires. If you find something wrong on any page here—a museum that closed, a number that stopped being true—write to me. Nearly two decades of pages means a lot of small facts quietly going stale, and I would rather hear about them from you than not at all.
