Hans im Glück Verlag building

tags: Carcassonne - Hans im Glück - Publisher - Thurn und Taxis

Upon visiting Munich this past weekend I discovered the Hans im Glück Verlag building. The publisher of Carcassonne, Thurn und Taxis, Hacienda and many many other popular board games is located close to Munich's Olympic Stadium. I found it astonishing how small the building actually is. Maybe this is just a distribution center? Who knows?

HiG is just part of a much larger corporation....Schmidt Spiele

http://schmidt-spiele.de/

Next time look up their place. This one just seems to be an address for whatever purposes...I guess to get the mail and pay the taxes.

HiG is only made up of three or four people. Everything else is outsourced to distribution companies, warehouses, etc. So it's very likely that that IS their headquarters... They just don't need more than that.
