What's Up?
The Berlin Spectator is an English-language news and features site about Germany. This publication is being made for expatriates, migrants, people around the world and of course Germans.
In articles, features and video reports, we will cover the most relevant news from Germany, while not forgetting about cultural and social subjects either. The expatriates themselves will be in the center of our attention too. This publication will also introduce German personalities.
Yet another task for The Berlin Spectator is to explain Germany and the Germans to those who have just moved to the country or are planning to do so, and to everyone else interested. On top of all of the above, entertainment will be an important aspect.
We have our very own way of bringing the story across, as you will see. At this stage, we are still in the process of setting up this site and developing it further. Please bear with us.
Imanuel Marcus is the driving force behind this project and the editor-in-chief. He used to be a radio presenter and editor before becoming a correspondent for German and Swiss radio stations in former Yugoslavia and the United States of America.
Some four years ago, he returned to journalism after a long break, by reporting about the unfolding refugee crisis from Croatia and Bulgaria. Also he got into writing for online media in Eastern Europe. Back in Germany, The Berlin Spectator is the project he is jump-starting as we speak.
We thank you for your interest. In order to support us, please keep on following and reading The Berlin Spectator. And please spread articles or features you like by posting them on social media or forwarding them to your friends and family. Thank you very much indeed.
In case you want to support this publication financially as well, please visit our donations page. In the long term, a publication like this one will only be able to thrive and survive with income from advertising and contributions.
Thank you yet again for visiting The Berlin Spectator. Please feel free to contact us with any comments or questions you might have.

Life & Work

Bio:
In 1987, I started my very first job, at a local radio station in southern Germany. Within a few years, I was the head-of-music, an editor, presenter and news editor, sometimes working for up to three radio stations at once. All of this led to me becoming a correspondent within Germany.
Starting in 1992, I was a reporter in former Yugoslavia, covering the war in Bosnia, along with those so-called peace negotiations in Geneva, for virtually all independent radio stations in Germany and some in Switzerland.
In 1996, I moved to Washington D.C. in order to become a correspondent there. I stayed five and a half years, during which I covered basically everything. Most of it was politics. In addition, I dealt with NASA activities, plane crashes, other catastrophes, Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys and a lot more.
Many years later, in September of 2015, the radio department within the German Press Agency (dpa) sent me to Croatia, where I reported about the huge influx of refugees on the Balkans.
Exactly 20 years after the first free elections in Bosnia, which occurred in 1996, I was in Croatia again. This time, the refugees came from war-torn regions, located thousands of miles away. Two decades before, I had covered the plight of refugees at the same spot before. Back then, they were Bosnians fleeing the Serbian Army and paramilitary killer squads, as well as members of the Serbian minority in Croatia, who were trying to flee Eastern Slavonia, before the Croatian Army got there.
