as a matter of fact bielefeld conspiracy is a misunderstanding. a guy said he's from bielefeld and the person replied "das gibt's doch gar nicht" meanng i don't believe it but can also be confused with that does not exist implying that bielefelddoes not exist and it took off from there.

The Europa-Park in Rust claims that they had 5.6 million tourists in 2017. That would make the small village Rust number 6 of this list. Just said. ;-)

For this type of quiz a tourist is someone who stays overnight. And that's the best way to get a number. You couldn't distinguish commuters from tourists or people passing through otherwise. Most people don't stay in a hotel of the theme park or leave after a day.

Assuming roughly the same % of visitors stay on property as the rough ratio I found for Disney World (35%), just under 2,000,000 people stay the night each year in Rust, barely missing the top 10. Of course, in all likelihood, fewer people stay overnight than Disney World as it is a much smaller park, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

9/10 would never have got Leipzig, kept thinking bigger like Hanover.

Aha! Source data is overnight stays, so doesn't include day-trippers but does include business travel. Explains a lot of the mis-matches vs tourist/sightseeing destinations

I'm a bit surprise that there were only big cities on the list. I would have expected something like Lübeck (historical, seaside) or an alpine town like Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Maybe German skiers just go to Austria instead?

Do you really think Garmisch-Partenkirchen could receive close to 4 million visitors to get onto this list, and to have the necessary hotels and facilities to accommodate so many people? Many of the smaller places you're thinking of are not easy to get to, for Germans or for non-Germans: people have to fly, drive or get a train to these places and so they're going to have to go via large cities to do so.

Some of my favourite places in Germany as a Dutch person: Weimar, Würzburg, Bremen, Köln.

Low key hoped for Rothenburg an den Tober to be on this list, when I was there it was teeming with tourists!

"Tourists" is a bit misleading, as the statistic counts overnight stays. "[Overnight] visitors" would be more accurate imo, as I don't think Stuttgart has more tourists than Dresden, but lots of business visitors (e.g.).
