What is re:publica? The who is who of the German blogosphere
By Oliver | April 13, 2007
re:publica is storming the Technorati Charts. But what is the re:pulica? Who is there? And what is it about? I have the answers. It is the blogger conference in Germany. All major Bloggers (as if the Germans had many) are here and quite a few German web2.0 entrepreneurs are joining in. I ran around today, taking photos like a madman. Now I want to show everyone outside of Germany, who is behind the blogosphere and what it is all about in Germany.
re:publica is the Conference far and about blogs. The press, media in general, entrepreneurs and of course man bloggers are here. Roughly 600-800 people are here at the Kalkscheune venue. Check out the photos here.
Who are some of the bloggers here?
Johnny Haeusler
Johnny is one of the three most read bloggers in Germany. He runs the conglomerate “Spreeblick”, a blog, a publishing company and “Adical”, a new and criticized ad service provider. Many Germans do not like ads on blogs, they think it is too commercial and might influence the quality and independence of a blog. Johnny blogs about next to anything, always with a good amount of humour. And he is the host here at re:publica.
Robert Basic
Is another of the three most read bloggers in Germany. He bloggs at basicthinking.de and covers most topics of general interest with a slight focus on web topics. If you could only choose one feed to read, then you would go for Robert. He aggregates, links and summarizes all relevant topics. And he is a really nice guy, helpful and very active.
Stefan Niggemeier
Stefan started the most read blog in Germany: the Bildblog. This blog comments, corrects and screens the largest Germany tabloid “Bild”. I guess Bildblog is probably the blog with the most readers from outside the German blogosphere. But few people blog about or reference to the Bildblog. And since the German blog ranking Service “Blogscout” counts posting relevance (links to blogs) as well as traffic, it often does not always make it to the top.

Oliver Gassner
Probably one of the only pro-bloggers in Germany. Oliver bloggs for next to every corporate blog around here. Ok, not that many, but more than any other of us. He used to be a teacher, then he blogged about gadgets. Now he has more blogs than I can count with one hand.
Mike Schnoor
Mike works for one of the most exciting startups in Germany: Sevenload. A video portal, similar to YouTube and all the others, but a lot more sophisticated and innovative. Sevenload has quite a range of useful and new features and is very popular in the blogger scene. Mike blogs on Sevenload’s corporate blog as well as on his well known media orientated blog “Sichelputzer“. He is an instant charmer.
Mario Sixtus
Mario is a very popular video blogger around here. His “Elektrischer Reporter” (electric reporter) is produced in cooperation with a very well read business publishing company called “Handelsblatt”. He interviews Web 2.0 and other celebrities in his very own way. His interviews are occasionally in English. With a bit of luck I will be in his next episode, talking about web2.0 in China.
Andreas Dittes
Andreas is one of the German whiz kids. He blogs about media, web topics and several general topics and seems to be in every service I have ever seen. We have a small game, trying to be member of more services as the other.
Nicole Simon
Nicole is one of the rare German bloggers who blog in English and in German. She is a Social Media Consultant, often found in Second Life and in articles about it. She travels a lot and can be met at many European events.
Florian Krakau
Florian is a tireless barcamp fan (same as me) and defender of ad-free blogs. We travel to most barcamps and webmondays to promote the barcamp spirit. Florian is at least the co-founder of Pl0g. This group blog covers many topics, from web to geek, general interest to software, macs, fun, quite a lot actually. And it has traffic, at least for German dimensions.
Silke Berz
Silke blogs as PaulinePauline and covers a range of topics, including media, internet, usability and commerce. She is a sunshine in her way, nearly drowned in birthday congratulations a short time ago.
Sascha Lobo
Sascha is author and blogger. He covers a variety of topics and has quite a good way of expressing himself.
Daniel Peters
Daniel is a Design blogger with quite some merit. His “20 simply beautiful Wordpress templates” caught a lot of attention. Here he is sitting in front of his beloved MacBook Pro…
Nicole Ebber
Nicole is our “Creative Commons” girl, promoting the idea wherever she comes. Her tireless effort has brought many people to creative commons and she seems to be everywhere. She bloggs here.
Andrea Goetzke (left)
Andrea works for newthinking communications, the organizer of the re:publica. She helped to get the re:publica on its feet and can be met at many German community events.
Christian Schagen
Christian is one of the boffins behind LinkLift, a German click-per-view ad service. Their logo came straight out of the web 2.0 logo generator. The ad system calculates the relevance of participating blogs and websites in their various topics. He has a very tight handshake and quite
a humour.
Sarik Weber
Sarik is one of the many exciting entrepreneurs in Germany. He has worked for Xing, the German business social network (similar to LinkedIn). His newest service is “Cellity”, a least cost routing mobile phone software, that let’s you cut down your phone costs drastically. And Cellity is one of the ways to Twitter as cheap as possible. Texts to Twitter have to be sent to a mobile phone number in the UK. This usually costs 39 EURO-cent, Sarik let’s you Twitter for 9 Eurocents.
Emzo
Emzo proves, that German bloggers do not have to look like geeks. He was photographed by two Girls in the tram yesterday evening, with them following his every step. Emzo is one of the Pl0gger crew.
