Also the most touristic cities in Germany offer prints, You can order p.e. http://www.bamberg.info/en/service/infomaterial/ In some cities they ask for a voluntary donation. For small villages it is better to search for touristic websites for the whole region, p.e. franconian swiss. Downloads: http://www.fraenkische-schweiz.com/kontakt/prospekte-zum-download.html Prints: http://www.fraenkische-schweiz.com/kontakt/feedback.html You can find also maps for walking, biking etc. But in the most cases You have to pay for printed maps, because the cities/tourismus services have to pay for these materials (product of commercial publishers). And in many cities some prints are only in German (p.e. maps). There is a trend to offer downloads to minimize the costs of delivery. Maybe You download and look if You need/like the print. Downloads of the city Bamberg (brochures, maps, cityguides, hotel guides etc. http://www.bamberg.info/en/service/downloads/ For whole Franconia: http://www.frankentourismus.com/?setLanguage=true Ordering brochures for Franconia: http://www.frankentourismus.de/prospekte/ Interactive brochure: "Franonia - Home of Beer" http://www.frankentourismus.com/catalogs/tvf_blaetterkatalog_bierbroschuere_2010-e/index.html Two problems of the most brochures: - You find there only places/hotels/restaurants etc. who pay money for the entry. We (Café Abseits) work with a zero budget for marketing and so we are not part of the official restaurant/pub-guide of Bamberg. - Because the publishers want to get paid entries and want to avoid controversy with firms in their village / tourism You doesn't find critical journalistic articles. You find self descriptions of the entrepreneurs.
