Founders delighted with the award
The founders of the Miniatur-Wunderland were delighted with the renewed award from the online voting. "For us, this is a massive confirmation of all the hard work and dedication that our team puts into the Wunderland every day. It's deeply moving and makes us very proud that so many people appreciate our little Wunderland and cast their vote for us," said co-founder Frederik Braun in a statement. Together with his brother Gerrit and a third business partner, he founded the popular tourist attraction in the Hamburg Speicherstadt in 2000 and has continuously expanded it since then.
For the survey, the DZT reported that thousands of people could name their most recommended tourist destinations on the website www.germany.travel between March and July 2024. The ranking is based on the votes cast. The survey has been conducted since 2012.
