Welcome to Germany!
Many colleagues and friends from foreign countries have asked me about the places to see when visiting Germany. So it is my pleasure to play the advocate for my country.
Germany is a pleasant country to travel. Most of Germany has a cool, temperate climate, rainfall occurs year round with a maximum during summer. Winters there are mild and summers tend to be cool, though temperatures can exceed 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) for prolonged periods.
By its central position in Europe, Germany is an important transportation hub. This is reflected in its dense and modern transportation networks.

Wolfgang Utzt is a – very much living – legend among makeup artists. For almost three decades, he has worked on some of the most important productions at the Deutsches Theater Berlin and other theatres. He is known as an empathetic collaborator with directors who were – or became – legends themselves, among them Benno Besson, Friedo Solter, Alexander Lang, Thomas Langhoff, Heiner Müller, Robert Wilson and Jürgen Gosch. Utzt’s makeup skills comprise an entire chapter in the theatre history of East and West Germany.
