German tech, marketing and startup sites for guest posts and sponsors
Entering the German market? Twenty-two German-language publications in tech, marketing, startups and education that accept guest articles, sponsorships or listings.
Germany is one of the largest software markets in Europe, and German-speaking readers strongly prefer content in German. If you are expanding there, German publications are the shortest route to attention — but their "Gastbeitrag" and "Mediadaten" pages are easy to miss if you don't read German.
These German-language sites say on their own pages that they accept guest articles (Gastbeiträge), sponsored content, banners, newsletter sponsorship or listings.
How we built this list. On 10 October 2026 we opened each site's own pages — the home page, the "write for us", "advertise" and contact pages — and noted only what the site itself says it accepts. Every "open to" item links to the page where the site says so. We left out link farms and sites whose main business is selling links. Policies change, so read the linked page before you pitch.

Pitching German publications
- Write in German — or have a native speaker edit. A translated English pitch reads as one.
- Look for "Mediadaten" — the media kit with prices and formats is usually a PDF linked there.
- Expect clear labelling. German law requires paid content to be marked as advertising ("Anzeige", "Werbung", "Sponsored").
Woodander is available in German: woodander.com/de.
