It occurred to me that many of my followers are probably German hackers, but might have never heard about _the_ German Hacker.
That's him.
His name is German Hacker, but he's not a hacker; he's the mayor of the Bavarian city of Herzogenaurach (where both Adidas and Puma have their headquarters). He's in office since 2008.
Check out his website https://www.german-hacker.de for some 2000s-era nostalgia.
"German" is a legitimate, though rare and somewhat quaint, first name in Germany.
