suchen.de pioneered the market for local search engines in Germany. This site searches the German Internet for Web pages by service providers, retailers and other suppliers at a location specified by the user. Further information at www.suchen.de

suchen.de only lists results relevant to the search locations specified by users. All users have to do is enter the search term with the name of the town or its postal code they’re interested in. A business card providing the most relevant information may then be called up for each supplier. A direct link is also available if the company also has a Web site. Each result may be displayed on a map and associated with suchen.de’s route finder.

suchen.de is a service by the Deutsche Telekom Medien GmbH (DeTeMedien) and its partnered publishing companies. It is operated by t-info GmbH in Munich – one of the first service providers to deliver location based services in Germany for mobile phones.
