Hello there! My name is Anika, born and raised in Germany, living in the US, and I write a blog about anything German: the language, the food, the history, the traditions, the culture, the people.

I started this because I realized that for one there is much more to my own culture than I was aware of, and two Germany is often seen in rather limited terms: beer, sausage, schnitzel, Oktoberfest, World War II, Rammstein. And really Germany and German culture is more than beer and schnitzel which is why I named my blog exactly that: More than Beer and Schnitzel.

If you want to support me, you can do so by "buying me a book", either one time or through a monthly membership.

Some of my articles or short fact snippets, you can read here. But most of my longer articles along with photos and videos can be found on my blog.

I thank you for your support and hope to see you here, or on my website.

Vielen Dank!

Anika
