I'm German myself and I'm always cringing a bit when it comes to German statups. At least in the past most of the 'bigger' ones were copies of already existing ideas and there is always the ones that seem to be afraid of new technology ("we use j2ee, oracle and hibernate"). Could somebody name a few successful Berlin (or German) startups besides soundcloud?

http://www.wooga.com/ (social games, 8th largest on Facebook according to Wikipedia)

http://www.6wunderkinder.com/ is one example.

So far, 6wunderkinder delivered a todo-list app for several platforms. Wunderkit is yet to be delivered, and I just don't see how a free app that is used by some people can be stated as "successful", especially given the fact that the most visible competitors, Things and Omnifocus are premium-priced. Spread: Certainly. Success: Menotreallysure.

At least Things is also from Germany http://culturedcode.com/about/impressum.html

Yes, but cultured code is not presenting themselves as if it were the hottest new startup ( they are btw not in berlin but in stuttgart ), they have just created an awesome app.
