Perlentaucher is a German online magazine. It was founded and is published by Anja Seeliger and Thierry Chervel and has been available since March 15, 2000.

The magazine styles itself as a culture magazine, with its main focus on German culture and feuilleton and a daily overview of book reviews that have been published in a range of main German newspapers. With more than 500.000 visits per month Perlentaucher claims to be the biggest culture magazine in Germany.{{in lang|de}} http://www.perlentaucher.de/artikel/2216.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060218093222/http://www.perlentaucher.de/artikel/2216.html |date=2006-02-18 }} , 2005

In 2003, Perlentaucher was awarded the prestigious Grimme Award for online journalism, the jury calling it a "one-of-a-kind 'journal of journals'".{{in lang|de}} grimme-online-award.de: [http://www.grimme-online-award.de/de/preistraeger/preistraeger/detail_pt_goa5.htm Preisträger des »Grimme Online Award Medienjournalismus«] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008033739/http://www.grimme-online-award.de/de/preistraeger/preistraeger/detail_pt_goa5.htm |date=2007-10-08 }}.

Another online magazine run by Perlentaucher Medien was the English-language signandsight.com.[http://www.signandsight.com/service/29.html Signandsight – Four Words are Better than Two], 2005[http://www.signandsight.com/service/28.html Signandsight – Let´s Talk European], 2005 Signandsight was first published in 2005, bringing a news digest of articles on European cultural topics. It was discontinued in March 2012 due to the presently unfavourable "economic climate".Anja Seeliger, Thierry Chervel: [http://www.perlentaucher.de/artikel/7475.html Signandsight.com sagt Goodbye].
