Boulevard papers ("tabloid" style)
Boulevardzeitungen (sometimes translated as "popular papers"[8]) is a style of newspapers, characterised by big, colourful headlines, pictures and sensationalist stories, comparable to the English term "red top" or "tabloid", but independent from the paper format (the most widespread boulevard paper actually has a Broadsheet format). Also called Kaufzeitungen or Straßenverkaufszeitungen ("street sale papers"), as they can only be bought day by day at kiosks or from street vendors and are not usually delivered to subscribers (Munich's Abendzeitung being a notable exception).
National boulevard papers
- Bild (2,086,125 copies)
- also called "Bildzeitung"; with several regional editions like Bild Hamburg or Bild Köln. The Bild can be compared to tabloids, but the page size is bigger (broadsheet).
- Bild has a Sunday sister newspaper (which is a tabloid both in terms of style and paper format), Bild am Sonntag (1,118,497 copies), edited by a separate desk.
Regional or local boulevard papers
- Express in Cologne and the Rhineland (132,836 copies)
