Together they run the GTA roleplay server “PaulbergerRP” and the Minecraft server “Paulberger MC”; on top of that there are videos from the Paulberger Villa. Paulberger lemonade is iCrimax’s lemonade brand, which StandartSkill promotes in his videos.

PaulbergerRP (GTA RP server): The GTA roleplay server offers its own factions, add-on clothing and a stable economy. Fans can play together with their favorite YouTubers and experience unique roleplay moments.

Paulberger MC (Minecraft server): The Minecraft CityBuild server run by StandartSkill and iCrimax lets the community build, trade and play in a shared world. The server has been very well received by the community and regularly hosts events.

YouTuber events: StandartSkill regularly takes part in YouTuber events, including “YouTuber Insel” (“YouTuber Island”), gaming conventions such as Gamescom (where he signs autographs) and charity streams.

Books: StandartSkill has published two books: “Standart Skill – Voll verglitcht!” (2020, with Matthias Kempke and Marek Bláha) and “Standart Skill – Verfluxt noch mal!” (2021, with Fionna Frank), both from Riva Verlag and in German. The first volume made the Spiegel bestseller list, Germany’s best-known bestseller chart, in 2020. The books tell gaming adventures and are aimed at his young audience.

For parents: The gaming servers offer a controlled environment in which children can play with other fans. Parents should still keep an eye on screen time and talk about online safety.

StandartSkill’s gaming setup

Only his gaming PC is documented: in a sponsored video from February 2025 he presented a PC from the German manufacturer Dubaro; he doesn’t give the exact configuration in the description. StandartSkill doesn’t name his mouse, keyboard, headset or microphone anywhere himself – setup lists online have no reliable source for them.

Popular StandartSkill merchandise

StandartSkill stands for high-energy gaming action and the #StandartArmy. His merch shop standartskill.shop isn’t open yet as of October 2026 (“opening soon”). The books “Voll verglitcht!” and “Verfluxt noch mal!” are perennial favorites – ideal for young German-reading fans who love gaming stories. In his video descriptions he also promotes iCrimax’s Paulberger lemonade (paulberger.club).

Friends, crew & collabs

Income & net worth

How much StandartSkill earns is not public. His income comes from YouTube ads, sponsors (such as a PC maker), affiliate links, books, music, the Paulberger servers and, in future, his merch. Estimates on statistics sites are based on rough assumptions about ad revenue – there are no reliable figures.

Is StandartSkill kid-friendly?

• Age: suitable from around age 10. The videos are high-energy and action-packed, but can be overstimulating for younger children. In his video descriptions he labels his videos as “kid-friendly / family-friendly”.
• Content style: StandartSkill appeals to a younger audience. His videos are loud, fast-cut and full of gaming action. The tone is mostly friendly, but at times also competitive.
• Roblox, luck & Robux: His current Roblox videos are often about extremely rare eggs and pets, “infinite luck” and purchases worth tens of thousands of Robux. These gambling-like mechanics and big spending are a good opportunity to talk about in-game purchases, pocket money and budgets. BloxControl explains how Robux work in What is Roblox?
• Gaming focus: Besides Roblox, Fortnite (a shooter game with comic-style graphics, USK 12; PEGI 12 / ESRB Teen), GTA 5 (USK 18; PEGI 18 / ESRB Mature, but often played in roleplay modes) and Minecraft (USK 6; PEGI 7 / ESRB E10+). Parents should take a close look at GTA content, as the game is intended for adults.
• Language: Colloquial language, partly gaming slang – in German. Mild swear words are used occasionally, but no vulgar language.
• Community interaction: StandartSkill has a very young, engaged community. The #StandartArmy is known for its loyalty. Parents should talk with their children about a healthy approach to fan culture and online interactions.
• Role model: StandartSkill shows how you can turn a passion into a career. That can be motivating, but it can also create unrealistic expectations. A good starting point for talking about career dreams and the reality of social media careers.
• Advertising and spending: Almost every video description promotes iCrimax’s Paulberger lemonade (labeled as an ad), plus affiliate links. Talk early about spending habits and in-game purchases.
• Positive aspects: Teamwork in gaming challenges, creative problem-solving, perseverance and ambition. StandartSkill also shows how to deal with defeat.

• Music videos: The song “Skybase” is a good starting point for anyone who wants to combine gaming and music.

StandartSkill’s reach compared (German gaming creators)

Bottom line: StandartSkill is one of the biggest German gaming creators. His main presence is clearly on YouTube; Twitch hardly plays a role for him any more – unlike for BastiGHG, for example. Compared with Paluten or rewinside, his content is far less focused on Minecraft.
