Perlentaucher is a German online magazine. It was founded and is published by Anja Seeliger and Thierry Chervel and has been available since March 15, 2000. [1]
The magazine styles itself as a culture magazine, with its main focus on German culture and feuilleton and a daily overview of book reviews that have been published in a range of main German newspapers. With more than 500.000 visits per month Perlentaucher claims to be the biggest culture magazine in Germany. [2]
In 2003, Perlentaucher was awarded the prestigious Grimme Award for online journalism, the jury calling it a "one-of-a-kind 'journal of journals'". [3]
Another online magazine run by Perlentaucher Medien was the English-language signandsight.com.

It was discontinued in March 2012 due to the presently unfavourable "economic climate". [6]
The Perlentaucher magazine also cooperates with the website Salon run by the Slovak organisation Project Forum .
