History

In June 2004, Gerhard Müller created and published Travian, a browser game, as a hobby project, while he was reading chemistry at the Technical University of Munich. In response to the unexpected success of the game, Gerhard Müller and his brother Siegfried Müller founded Travian Games as a non-trading partnership in July 2005, which evolved into a limited liability company with four employees later in the year. The operations and the rights of Travian were transferred to the company at the beginning of 2006.

It acquired Cologne-based game developer Bright Future in January 2012.
