Why 20% (and why subscribe)?
Twenty percent of Berliners don’t have a German passport and the city’s international language has become English. Twenty percent Berlin brings those three-quarters of a million people the Hauptstadt’s news in English, with the context and background they want. Twice a week.
Who we are
Andrew Bulkeley and Maurice Frank met nearly 20 years ago when Maurice co-founded the Exberliner and Andrew wrote the upstart magazine’s first cover story. They recently again worked together during the corona pandemic for one of Berlin’s oldest dailies, attracting a following for their opinionated and informative daily corona updates.

Support 20 Percent Berlin on Patreon
We founded this newsletter in September 2021 after we lost our jobs at a Berlin newspaper that from one day to the next decided to axe its English desk. We want to keep the newsletter free for the forseeable future, but would appreciate any financial support you can afford. For as low as €3 per month you can help us keep the lights on up in here. Find out more at our Patreon.
Sponsor 20 Percent Berlin
Since launching early September 2021, we’ve built up a loyal following of thousands of English-speaking Berliners. If that’s an audience you’d like to reach, why not consider sponsoring our newsletter.
