Kohlchan
From Chan Top List, the imageboard wiki.
Kohlchan is a primarily German-language imageboard launched in March 2019, days after the long-running German-speaking imageboard Krautchan went offline. Its name (German for 'cabbage') is a nod to Krautchan ('kraut' being a colloquial term for Germans). Like its predecessor, Kohlchan caters to German, Austrian, and Swiss users while maintaining a multilingual /int/ board.
Relationship to Krautchan
Krautchan, founded in 2007, was for years the central German-speaking imageboard and the home of the 'Polandball' meme. When Krautchan shut down in March 2019, much of its userbase migrated to Kohlchan within days, preserving the community's continuity.
Boards
Kohlchan offers German-language boards on politics, technology, and general discussion, plus an English /int/ board for international users. The site has occasionally been the subject of moderation controversies similar to those affecting other large imageboards.
