Who is Reeze? Career and milestones

Reeze, whose legal name is Dominik Reezmann, was born on November 5, 1993 in Stuttgart and grew up in a German-Croatian family in the Swabia region. After finishing his Abitur (the German high school diploma) in 2013, he started studying computer science, later switched to business informatics and worked as a project manager at a web agency at the same time.

His creator career started in an unusual way: before he stepped in front of the camera himself, he worked as a chat moderator for Papaplatte. There he not only learned the streaming business from scratch, but also formed the friendship that would later lead to the Edeltalk podcast.

The early years (1993–2017)

Reeze describes his childhood as carefree and happy. His school career was “a bit bumpy”, but still ended with the Abitur in 2013. Afterwards, he first studied computer science in Stuttgart and later switched to business informatics in Stuttgart/Hohenheim. Alongside his studies, he was already working as a project manager at a web agency – experience that later helped him build his creator career.

Getting into the creator world (2015–2018)

In 2015, Reeze made his first attempts on YouTube, and from 2017 he started streaming on Twitch – irregularly at first. During this time, he got to know Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller and worked as his chat moderator. When he applied to be a moderator for Papaplatte, he sent a detailed CV and a formal cover letter – typical Reeze!

Breakthrough with Edeltalk (2018–2020)

The big breakthrough came with the launch of Edeltalk in 2018. The weekly podcast with Papaplatte quickly became one of the most popular formats in the German streaming scene. At the same time, the podcast Café Alman with Henke and Niklas started. From early 2019, Reeze streamed regularly on Twitch.

Full-time creator and Cologne (2020–2021)

In 2020, Reeze decided to focus on streaming, dropped out of university and launched his current YouTube channel in July 2020. In February 2021, he joined the Cologne-based management company Newbase GmbH, and in mid-2021 he moved from Stuttgart to Cologne. Since August 2021, he has officially been a full-time content creator.

Established and successful (2022–2026)

The following years brought a string of successes: the Edeltalk book became a bestseller (2022), Edeltour 2 won a StreamAward (2023), the 7 vs. Wild win (2023), joining Craft Attack (2023), Edeltalk being produced for funk (2024), hosting the Comedy Clash (since 2025) and Edeltour 4 through the UK and Ireland (July 2025).

Awards

Reeze has won several StreamAwards (a German streaming award):

• 2023: “Best Viewer Interaction” (“Random Sidequest”) and “Best Streaming Event” (Edeltour 2, together with Papaplatte)
• 2024: “Best Cringe Moment” (“Ein kleines Foto”), “Best Multi-Day Event” (Edeltour 3) and “Most Surreal Moment” (“Lass mich mal machen”)

Known projects & series

Edeltalk – the podcast with Papaplatte

Since 2018, Reeze and his best friend Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller have been producing the podcast Edeltalk, which comes out every Sunday. It has become one of Germany’s most successful podcasts. The two talk about their friendship, everyday experiences, the online world, dating, video games and whatever is on their minds. Since 2024, Edeltalk has been produced on behalf of funk (the content network of German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF).

Guests on Edeltalk have included creators like Rewinside, Starletnova and Held der Steine, as well as TV personalities like Steven Gätjen. Reeze calls podcasts his “absolute passion”. Edeltalk is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, in the ARD Mediathek and as video on YouTube.

Edeltour – camper van adventures through Europe

The Edeltour is a live-streaming event in which Reeze and Papaplatte travel through Europe in a camper van with guests like LetsHugo and stream the whole adventure live on Twitch. Edeltour 2 (March 2023) went through Denmark, Norway and Sweden and was named “Best Streaming Event” at the StreamAwards 2023. Edeltour 3 won “Best Multi-Day Event” in 2024, and Edeltour 4 went through the UK and Ireland in July 2025.

Café Alman – the second podcast (2018–2024)

Alongside Edeltalk, Reeze produced the podcast Café Alman with Henke and Niklas (Nikeles) from 2018 to 2024. In more than 120 episodes, they discussed the online world, their everyday lives and dating troubles every Tuesday. The podcast ended in 2024.

YouTube – food, lifestyle and entertainment

Reeze originally started his YouTube channel with stream highlights. In March 2022, he changed direction and has since focused on dedicated YouTube videos about food, lifestyle and entertainment: food trends, restaurant visits, new supermarket products and trips to food spots in Germany and abroad.

Twitch – Just Chatting, IRL and gaming

On Twitch, Reeze offers a colorful mix of Just Chatting, IRL streams and gaming. Among other games, he plays Escape from Tarkov, Valorant and, of course, Minecraft in Craft Attack.

Comedy Clash and ARD Recap

Since 2025, Reeze has been the host of the ARD Twitch show “Comedy Clash” – a stand-up comedy competition on Twitch. He guides viewers through the live shows with support from well-known creators like merleperle and Rewinside. In 2024, he already hosted ARD Recap 2024, a review of the year on ARD’s Twitch channel.

Book: “Edeltalk – Das Buch zum Podcast” (2022)

In March 2022, Reeze and Papaplatte published the book “Edeltalk: Das Buch zum Podcast” with author Mikkel Robrahn through riva Verlag. In the 320-page German-language book, they tell the most nostalgic, funniest and most bizarre stories from their childhood to adulthood – with hand-drawn illustrations and personal margin notes. It became a SPIEGEL bestseller in the paperback nonfiction category.

7 vs. Wild – the surprise win

In August 2023, Reeze and Papaplatte took part in the third season of 7 vs. Wild – Fritz Meinecke’s German survival show, in which seven teams of two have to survive 14 days in the Canadian wilderness.

Even though they had no survival experience and were considered underdogs, they lasted the full 14 days and became one of three winning teams – alongside Hannah Assil & Affe auf Bike and Knossi & Sascha Huber. Although they had almost nothing to eat (just a few berries), they showed tremendous perseverance and became the community’s “winners of hearts”.

Minecraft: Craft Attack 11 to 14

Reeze has been part of Germany’s best-known Minecraft project since Craft Attack 11 (2023). In Craft Attack, more than 100 German-speaking content creators play together on a Minecraft server and build a shared world.

In Craft Attack 12 (2024), Reeze was part of the big “GHG” group around BastiGHG, Trymacs, Papaplatte, Paluten and many other creators. He was also active in Craft Attack 13 (2025/26); one highlight was his visit to BastiGHG’s secret base, whose elaborate mechanisms amazed him and Trymacs.

Reeze is on the official participant list again for Craft Attack 14, which started in October 2026. You’ll find all the players in our Craft Attack 14 overview.

Fun fact: Reeze is even afraid of heights in Minecraft! As he revealed on stream, his real-life fear of heights carries over into the game.
