reception

The publicist Bernd Gäbler wrote in Stern that Katzenberger was a fictional character and had become a typical phenomenon of trash TV in 2010. However, the figure was not created for identification , but anyone could recognize without a sense of style: “This is white trash , that is tasteless, that is cheap.” Instead, the figure has a trademark and a motto . The attention economy created by the media becomes real insofar as the café actually exists and this is visited by the recipients , which in turn generates attention: “The medium can therefore build itself up; Hypes are becoming an everyday phenomenon. ”Finally, Gäbler describes the“ Katzenberger Effect ”as a“ media machine ”, which today only“ with the apparently open display of manipulative craftsmanship ”and the“ ambivalent function of the media to create and close artificial worlds see through “works. In the study "Hohle Idole" published by the Otto Brenner Foundation, Gäbler explains that Katzenberger's story is a Cinderella story. “It is about ascent in the system of the attention economy, into which it did not enter through merit and ability. [...] The figure and the brand could develop - in the guise of a biographical narrative ”. Gäbler calls Katzenberger a "connecting figure" who looks into the world of media and self-marketing with the eyes of the viewer. According to his study, he comes to the conclusion: "In the offensive, she has no skills or acquired qualifications."

The Süddeutsche Zeitung described Katzenberger in 2010 as follows:

"Daniela Katzenberger is the projection screen of a new German girl's dream that promises to become famous and possibly a millionaire out of nothing - just like that, without going through the dish washing, where it rinses the rhinestones off your nails. Katzenberger is admired because she is what she might really be - and because that is not much, but is enough for a lot. She is like the friend from Mario Barth's program : a bit chunky, smart as a farmer, not unsympathetic - somehow easy-going, by no means sensual. "

- Süddeutsche Zeitung , December 23, 2010

David Denk, media editor of the daily newspaper, said: “And yet it is difficult for me to reject Daniela Katzenberger outright - as much as I would like to dismiss her as a white trash phenomenon. God knows that is not due to her bizarre appearance, of which I forgot to mention the clown eyebrows tattooed on her forehead, no, Daniela Katzenberger's motherly wit and quick-wittedness make her sympathetic . "
