history

In 1995 Gruner + Jahr started a number of websites for its traditional media brands, including "Stern online" under the domain stern.de. This was one of the first professional news portals on the German-speaking World Wide Web .

In the early years Stern.de was the division assigned to Electronic Media Service (EMS) of Gruner + Jahr. In order to promote the content-related and organizational cooperation between Stern.de and the Stern, Stern.de GmbH was finally established in 2000. Bernd Buchholz , later CEO of Gruner + Jahr, took over the management of the company . In 2002, Stern.de was extensively relaunched , which implemented the uniform external presentation of the Stern brand family.

Under the leadership of editor-in-chief Frank Thomsen , Stern.de repeatedly relied on grassroots journalism in addition to content for which it was responsible . An example of this is the start of an “eyewitness” platform for the publication of amateur photos and videos in 2006. This was supplemented a year later by “Tausendreporter”, an offer to collect news from a collaborative community .

At the end of the 2000s, Stern.de tried to achieve a greater reach, for example through virtual advice in the field of health. This course was successfully continued under the leadership of the editor-in-chief Philipp Jessen . In the meantime, the content of Neon , a former sister magazine of the star, has been transferred from Neon.de to Stern.de.
