Thirty-eight photographers from the Bilderberg photo agency invite you to explore their homeland from an unusually fresh perspective. Photos and short texts in English and German offer a behind-the-scenes look at a side of everyday life in Germany - from the peak of the Zugspitze in the south to the island of Sylt in the far north - that you may not necessarily ever see as a visitor. The photographers traveled the country in search of motifs ranging from work-aday experiences in villages and factories to events such as soccer games, neighborhood lingerie parties and rockabilly concerts. From panoramic views to portraits, every photo tells its own story.
