Hoaxmap - news from the rumor mill (in English hoax , in German ' false report skarte' or ' rumor card') is a self-initiated project of the ethnologist Karolin Schwarz from Leipzig. The website hoaxmap.org has been online since February 8, 2016 and collects alleged false reports in the context of the refugee crisis in Europe from 2015 with the origin or reference location including "resolutions" based on "established media".
The website was created as a reaction to Internet information in Germany . According to the author, the intention of the website is "to bring order to the multitude of rumors that have been spread and to facilitate the deconstruction of the same." Most of the false reports and rumors relate to refugees, also indirectly about "people with a 'southern appearance' or 'non-German Accent'". Also recorded are those about "alleged crimes or repression measures against participants in racist demonstrations".

Newspapers and radio from Germany and Austria, but also international media from Australia, Canada, Arabia and the USA reported on the website. Positive news from politics came from the German Justice Minister, for example. April 2016 Hoaxmap was nominated for the Grimme Online Award .
In addition to mostly positive feedback, Schwarz is now also receiving subtle threats from the political right.
In 2018 the reports in the local press collapsed, whereupon Hoaxmap could list fewer rumors than refuted.
