Exberliner
Exberliner is an English-language magazine published in Berlin that was launched in 2002.[1] It is published monthly (except for the July/August double issue) and available for €7.50 at newsstands around the city or by subscription. The magazine offers cultural listings, reviews, journalistic articles, opinion columns and a cultural guide, which are also continually updated online. The magazine was founded as a free newspaper in 2002 named The Berliner but was forced to change the name, which was already trademarked. The magazine relaunched a few months after its initial release as "Exberliner". Against popular belief, the name is not intended as a play on expatriate (English-speaking expatriates being a major target audience).
In February 2013, Exberliner published an article[2] which caused a lot of debate around the behaviour of expatriates in Berlin, and also led to discussions about gentrification in Berlin. The article lamented the fact that many expats in Berlin do not learn German.
