It seems that King WA and Queen Maxima have been very busy lately. Only a day before the visit to Germany they were in Denmark; though I guess they didn't have far to go, since it would probably be easy to drive out of Denmark and into Germany.

A clip from royalblog:
The blog says that the visit received quite some (media) attention. And as such it greatly helped the visibility of the economic mission. It seems that they visited the Joop van den Ende Academy that trains young people who do musicals and other light arts. Van den Ende and his wife Janine were escorting the king and queen in Hamburg:
http://nos.nl/artikel/2026189-duitse...-den-ende.html
The magazine Bunte has an article about the visit too. Apparently they came with 11 black limousines. Members of the court visited the hotel two or three times to inspect the place. They had breakfast in their own room(s). There was 'only' one stylist in the group.

According to another article in the magazine, Máxima also speaks German (as does the king of course).

I've had the same impression, I've seen several reports on German television - which was really nice - and lots of German internet articles. Most tabloids will be out on Wednesday 
Here are two more nice galleries:

Interesting, apparently the King and Queen sayed in Grand Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg. In the Dutch weekly program Blauw Bloed was said that it was not known where the King and Queen slept on the first night of their visit to Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg. They said that there are lots of relatives and friends living in the area, hinting that the King and Queen would have stayed there.
The late King's father, Prince Claus, grew up on Döt zingen Estate in Hitzacker an der Elbe, near Hamburg.

At present the house is inhabited by Christoph Freiherr von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen and his spouse Jutta Freifrau von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen née De Chapeaurouge (a French/Swiss aristocrat family), cousin and cousine of the late Prince Claus. Their son Johann-Caspar Freiherr von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen was one of the brideschildren at the wedding of Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima. To Dötzingen Estate belong several farms, farm- and moorlands and forests.

I believe that the local bewspaper of nuremberg wrote that willem-alexander is king of a republic and that he will not actually wear a crown during his visit to the city.
