The currently 5 biggest streamers in Germany: who they are and what they do

Twitch is still the undisputed ruler of the streaming scene and produces great personalities that delight hundreds of thousands of fans. The German creators are in no way inferior to their international colleagues and take the throne of the world’s greatest streamers. But who are actually the biggest streamers in Germany?

Which streamers are they? It is no coincidence that the streamers we researched for this list are all male. We also compile a list that represents the biggest female streamers in Germany.

The list was drawn up according to special criteria:

  • Period of the last 30 days (as of December 20, 2021)
  • Commercial and event channels are left out.
  • The ranking is determined by the average number of viewers.

Platz 5: Trymacs

  • Streamer: Max „Trymacs“ Stemmler
  • Average Spectator: 16.144
  • Active since: March 2016
  • Channel: twitch.tv/trymacs (via twitch.tv)

Who is Trymacs? The 26-year-old from Hamburg has made a rocket start: from the mobile games Clash of Clans and Clash Royal to one of the largest streamers in Germany and around the world.

He was active on Twitch before 2016 and his first YouTube video. At that time it could only inspire a small audience. Today, at peak times, hundreds of thousands watch him play GTA-RP, open FIFA packs with outrageous success or simply hold a panel discussion with other streamers.

Its special events in particular could have provided a gigantic push in reach. Many people will remember the Pokémon card event from January 2021. Here Trymacs, together with streamer colleague PapaPlatte, pulled cards from special booster packs for a total of € 40,000. This stream alone attracted a total of 356,000 viewers, of which around 250,000 watched Trymacs alone.

What happened last? At gamescom 2021, Trymacs organized a large live streaming event together with Gronkh, PapaPlatte and a few other streamer colleagues. That took place in Hall 1 of the Cologne Exhibition Center.

It was streamed for three days: Various guests were invited to play funny games. The invited guests included not only YouTubers and streamers, but also TV stars and musicians such as Tokyo Hotel, Clueso and Kaya Yanar.

Platz 4: TheRealKnossi

  • Streamer: Jens “Knossi” Knossalla
  • Average Spectator: 16.556
  • Active since: January 2016
  • Channel: twitch.tv/therealknossi (via twitch.tv)

Who is Knossi? Jens “Knossi” Knossalla can justifiably be called an entertainment fusion powerhouse. After a few amateur appearances in various TV formats such as judge Alexander Hold and participation in countless game shows, he started his Twitch career. A logical step for the then 30-year-old, because according to his own statements, Knossi always wanted to be an entertainer.

Knossi gained notoriety primarily through its casino streams. In these streams he not only won thousands and thousands of euros, he was also able to inspire thousands and thousands of viewers – the keyword “algae” should be a household name for fans.

Later, however, Knossi concentrated on elaborate productions with which he wanted to bring TV quality to Twitch. From a horror and fishing camp to game shows and the subsequent breakthrough and top spot in the world, Knossi was able to captivate hundreds of thousands of viewers. Gaming streams are now part of GTA 5: Roleplay is part of everyday life.

This is what happened last: Knossalla’s last project was the celebrity poker night, in which guests such as YouTuber Rewi and TV celebrity Frank Tonmann took part. The last camp project that Knossi started was fishing camp 2.

3rd place: Eliasn97

  • Streamer: Elias „EliasN97“ Nerlich
  • Average Spectator: 25.079
  • Active since: November 2018
  • Channel: twitch.tv/eliasn97 (via twitch.tv)

Who is Eliasn97? Elias started his career in esports. His game was FIFA and he rocked that. EliasN97 played among other things for the soccer club Hertha BSC, but turned his back on it some time ago to devote himself to his own project.

The 23-year-old spends most of his time on Twitch, where he not only plays FIFA with his fans. Although FIFA is still in the foreground: Since the early access release of FIFA 22, the number of its average viewers has quadrupled.

They have risen from around 15,000 simultaneous viewers to 70,000. In the meantime, this number has leveled off at around 20,000 simultaneous viewers.

This is what happened last: In September EliasN97 announced that he was creating his own FIFA esports team. This team is called Focus. The reason for founding their own team and leaving Hertha was a lack of appreciation and the search for a new challenge.

2nd place: Gronkh

  • Streamer: Erik “Gronkh” range
  • Average Spectator: 31.935
  • Active since: June 2019
  • Channel: twitch.tv/xrohat (via twitch.tv)

Who is Gronkh? Erik “Gronkh” Range became popular with the masses with Let’s Plays. This is a now almost extinct category of YouTube videos, in which the actors mostly upload uncut and commented gameplay.

To this day, Gronkh’s Minecraft project is one of the classics in YouTube history in Germany. He uploaded over 1000 episodes on the first project. Range is also active as a live streamer on Twitch, where he is one of the biggest in Germany.

But Gronkh also draws attention away from YouTube and Twitch. If you’ve seen the movie Spider Man: Into The Spiderverse, King-Pin’s voice might have sounded familiar: It was Gronkh. Range also gave his voice to other characters in the film (via Synchronkartei.de).

What happened last? In addition to gameplay and streams, Gronkh is also a regular guest on Twitch shows such as Friendly Fire 7, to the Donation stream par excellence, which brought in enormous sales this year. Range is now also working in the dubbing studio again. This time he speaks the video game character Fox from the role-playing game Elex 2.

1st place: MontanaBlack

  • Streamer: Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris
  • Average Spectator: 49.962
  • Active since: June 2013
  • Channel: twitch.tv/montanablack88 (via twitch.tv)

Who is MontanaBlack? Thanks to his Realtalk videos about his difficult youth that he uploaded to YouTube, MontanaBlack has become extremely popular. Drugs and theft on the one hand, loving grandparents on the other.

It all started in the grandparents’ attic and now the grandchildren give a lot back to Grandma and Grandpa. He paid his grandfather around € 4,000 back after stealing money from him many years ago.

On the other hand, it is easy for Marcel Eris to amass money, because as MontanaBlack he is one of the best-paid Twitch streamers in the world. This was also confirmed by a large Twitch leak that published the revenues of the 100 largest streamers. But not only his finances, his reach can also be seen with 4.13 million followers. On average, around 100,000 fans watch him play GTA-RP. Only with FIFA 22 does the Hamburg streamer seem to have a little less success.

What happened last? At the moment the topic “Bushido” dominates when you search for MontanaBlack online. The former good acquaintances – friends would probably be too many – fell apart due to a discord against Bushido. Even after Bushido tries to get closer, Monte shows himself disinterested (via watson.de).
