The magazine was launched as a free newspaper in 2002 named ''The Berliner'' but was forced to change the name, which was already trademarked. The magazine then relaunched a few months after its initial release as ''Exberliner''.
In 2021, the magazine became part of the Tip Berlin Media Group, owners of ''

In February 2023, Nadja Vancauwenberghe, the last remaining founding member of The Berliner, was dismissed from her long-held role as Editor-in-Chief.
