The Germany List: Introduction to An English Online Directory

Speaker: Eleanor Mayrhofer

Eleanor will talk about how and why she decided to create The Germany List, an online directory, in English. A ‘branchenbuch’ of products, services, resources and community groups that cater to Germany’s growing international, expat and immigrant groups.

Sort of like a Craigs List for the international community in Germany.

The Germany List serves two audiences:

  1. Immigrant-owned businesses
  2. Internationals looking for ‘next level’ resources

Why? Facebook groups and WhatsApp group chats are filled with the following queries: ‘Does anyone know a good [X] in [German city]’. This knowledge is decentralized and hard to find. We want to collect and consolidate that knowledge so anyone can access it, without social media or a paywall.

In her 25 year design career Eleanor Mayrhofer has done everything from designing web and mobile apps to methodology and agile process design for global creative teams. She’s worked on projects for clients such as Vodafone, BMW, Audi, Bosch-Siemens Hausgerät, T-Online, and More.

Now she helps business owners and thought leaders create websites they can’t wait to show the world. She’s the host of The Germany Expat Business Show podcast and a co-founder of The Germany List.
