A former manager at Lufthansa and South German airline Hapag Lloyd Flug, Holtorf had saved up enough money to begin his trip by 1989.
But he and Christine were avid cartographers, and financed their further travels by creating the first detailed map of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, which they updated constantly from 1977 to 2005 on their regular visits.
The map’s latest edition, a 400-page “city atlas” of the city of 30 million people, sold 150,000 copies.
Best-travelled car in the world
Holtorf accomplished the entire trip in his sky-blue 1988 Mercedes 300GD, nicknamed “Otto”, which stood proudly on Berlin’s Pariser Platz in front of the Brandenburg gate on Wednesday.

Gunther Holtorf hat 215 Länder, Regionen und Territorien besucht, ist 900.000 Kilometer im selben Auto gefahren und war 26 Jahre lang unterwegs.

In seiner Zeit als Lufthansa-Vertreter in Indonesien begann er einen rudimentären Stadtplan von der wuchernden Millionenmetropole Djakarta anzufertigen. Es gab zuvor noch keinen, weder im Handel noch bei der Stadtverwaltung. Also fuhr er herum, sammelte Baupläne, glich Luftbilder ab und zeichnete.
Aus einem ersten, bescheidenen Faltplan von 1977 wurde bis 2005 ein 400-seitiger Stadtatlas der 30-Millionen-Metropole. Er genügt höchsten kartografischen Ansprüchen und erschien zum Teil in Auflagen von 150.000 Exemplaren. Bei regelmäßigen Besuchen in Indonesien wurde er von den Holtorfs über die Jahre akribisch gepflegt und ergänzt. Erst die Verbreitung des Internets und Raubkopien stoppten den kommerziellen Erfolg. Doch heute noch nutzt die Stadtverwaltung von Djakarta Holtorfs Plan.
...
Von Beginn an reiste auch ein fest installiertes GPS-Gerät mit, das allerdings nur die Position und Fahrtrichtung anzeigt, aber keine Kartenfunktion hat. Die kommen für alle Weltregionen in Papierform miti.

Apparently one of Gunther’s Jakarta maps were plagiarised by Indonesian cartographer, who were one of the government officials, which led Gunther to stop working on the map
On behalf of Indonesians, I am really sorry and apologise for what our officials did.
Depuis l’avènement de Google maps la cartographie semble souffrir du poids du monopole Google.

An epic journey that began in 1989 has come to an end after traveller Gunther Holtorf returned to his native Germany following a 900,000km trip around the globe. Holtorf set off with his fourth wife in their blue 4×4 – nicknamed Otto – and, after she died in 2010, Holtorf vowed to complete the journey they’d planned together, taking in a staggering 215 countries. Holtorf confirmed that Otto will be put on display at Stuttgart’s Daimler Museum as the world’s best-travelled vehicle.
