Georg explores the intersection of astronomy and culture, the mechanics and history of calendars, and the creation of public holidays around the world. He is part of the editorial team at timeanddate.com and also responsible for the German sister site, timeanddate.de.
Georg holds a master’s degree in the History of Science and Technology from the University of Munich (LMU) and Technical University Munich (TUM), specializing in innovation and knowledge creation—his master’s thesis investigated the industrialization of knowledge production in the world’s first R&D laboratories.
Before joining timeanddate.com in 2020, he worked as a communications advisor for international technology companies and as a professional ghostwriter.
Some of Georg’s recent work includes the Holiday News campaign, and the connection between astronomical events and holidays.
I enjoy uncovering the systems that shape our daily lives—like calendars and holidays—and presenting them in a way that makes their history and logic clear to everyone.
