My Fan Project Celebrating the Magic of Efteling
Eftelingfansite.de is a fan-made website dedicated to the Dutch theme park Efteling, created entirely in German. This was my very first web project, started back in 2008, at a time when in-depth German-language content about Efteling was scarce. Over the years, it has evolved into a knowledge hub for detailed attraction articles, hidden details, and tips for visitors.
A Community Effort
One of the most rewarding aspects of running this site has been connecting with other German-speaking Efteling fans. Over the years, some of them even contributed their own content, enriching the site with their knowledge and passion.
Eftelingfansite.de may not be as actively updated as in the past, but it remains an archive of carefully curated content—a place for fans to dive deep into the world of Efteling in German.

A Passion for Efteling
My fascination with Efteling began in 1995, before I was even two years old. The park’s immersive storytelling, attention to detail, and magical atmosphere captivated me.
I wanted to share this enthusiasm with others, and building a website seemed like the perfect way to do it. Through descriptive articles and visual elements like images and videos, I aimed to showcase the beauty and uniqueness of Efteling to a German-speaking audience.

Built with My Own CMS
As my project grew, so did my interest in web development. What started with free website builders soon turned into an opportunity to learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Eventually, I even built my own CMS called Plain, which still powers Eftelingfansite.de today.
