German Zines?

I've spent a fair amount of time searching on-line and not found many zines or zine distros in Germany. I found quite a few at Cafe Nixda in Mainz in 91 when I was a student there. They even had their own zine "Dichtung und Wahrheit." There're Infoladen in Frankfurt (Arbeitslosen Verband), Mannheim (Juz) and something at the Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg - if only I can get some time to go and check these out. For now I'm reading American zines.

(if u want my zine I would be happy to post it to u) danke!

i've been having a similar problem, as i'm starting a distro in Portugal and can't seem to find that many zines or distros around here. it also seems like back in the 90's we had a more active zine scene in Portugal.
unfortunately i don't know German, though i would like to learn the language, so that i could look for German zines for my distro :|

well, you say you're reading USA zines, but there are a lot of good zines from the UK and some from Australia too. i would say Canada, but that's a USA neighbor, so i suppose it wouldn't make much difference to you, right? ;-)
but i think i understand what you mean, wanting to read our own countries zines, to see what local people are up too and stuff...
