The July–August edition of the Exberliner

The Berliner (formerly 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 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. Contrary to popular belief, the name is not intended as a play on the term ‘expatriate,’ despite the fact that English-speaking expatriates are one of the main audiences of the publication. After over two decades, in 2024, the name was then changed back to The Berliner.[2]
