The target group are mainly foreigners or so-called " expats ", English-speaking Germans, but also tourists.

It was founded in 2002 by three English-speaking journalists, then free of charge and under the name The Berliner . But because this was already a registered brand name, the name had to be changed. Exberliner is a play on words between "expatriate" (English: people living abroad ) and Berlin . " Ex-Berliners should be a mixture of New Yorkers and the Village Voice ."
