history
The Munich-based programmer Mario Boller-Olfert from Hamburg created the game database originally called GameBase , which was later renamed Luding. From 1997 the database was mirrored once a month by Stefanie Kethers in Germany at RWTH Aachen University . When in 1998 Boller-Olfert wanted to give up the database for reasons of time, Stefanie Kethers and Jörg Henrichs took over the further maintenance. Until December 2013, it was operated entirely at RWTH Aachen University. After several revisions of the underlying software, the database moved to the domain luding.org in 2001 . From 2003 to the end of 2013, the database was maintained exclusively by Jörg Henrichs. Game designer Frank Gartner ( H @ LL9000 ) has now taken over the maintenance of the database and operates the website.
