Following our listmaking tradition (see the 50 most popular sites from Germany and German startups and twitter) here is a list of the most anticipated sites – sites in stealth mode, in private beta or requiring some sort of invitation to get in – from Germany. The popularity is based on the current number of bookmarks at del.icio.us.
Actually it is a list of those sites we are aware of and we definitely missed a few, but some German sites you currently don’t get in would not have made for a good headline. Let us know in the comments which sites we are missing, we will beta test everything.
Most sites are in German only so our apologies to our international readers. Since many of them are scheduled to publicly launch this autumn / by the end of the year, this list might still be a good indicator on what German startups are up to.

@kai (security-gui) and Helge: security-gui and bikemap regrettably don’t qualify for this list, we are looking for sites which are in *stealth mode, in private beta or requiring some sort of invitation to get in*, again you might want to reread the first paragraph.

Another German web 2.0 (or web nouveau as we call it) of note that will launch in November is ShopWindoz. Aimed at the design-orientated independent ‘microband’ sellers and boutiques in Berlin the site is a social commerce platform that intends to bring together niche buyers with niche sellers. The unique thing offered here is that sellers can present themselves as shop window that can be fully customised, also it is very cheap! The plan is to launch other cities if Berlin is successful.
