HeyMoritz

For a long time, the German YouTubescape was quite dull and, above all, not very unique. Only a few scratched the surface but there were not many new and especially good creators in the German YouTube scene. Finally, a young man came out of nowhere and broke several records in just a short time with his channel “HeyMoritz”. But who exactly is behind the channel “HeyMoritz” and was its development really as fast as it seemed at first?

The real name of the operator and protagonist of the channel “HeyMoritz” is Moritz Schirdewahn. He was born on 06 June 2002 and is therefore just 17 years old. Generally speaking, “HeyMoritz” is a very young, German-speaking YouTuber and also an actor: However, it should be noted that “HeyMoritz” has not enjoyed any acting training.

The 17-year-old founded his channel “HeyMoritz” on 28 February 2012. At that time he was just nine years old and still quite young for his own channel. He released his first video on July 28, 2012 at the age of 10. This one was titled: “Nintendo 3DS XL, games and more …” and was a simply shot video of his former Nintendo which he introduced in this video. In the further course of his channel he continued to publish several gaming videos and was quite successful for his young age. It reached the 500 subscribers as early as September 03, 2015 and finally reached the 2000 subscribers on March 22, 2016. From that point on, things slowly started to look up for “HeyMoritz” and his burgeoning channel. Despite the considerable fame that “HeyMoritz” could achieve through his gaming videos, he decided to turn his back on the gaming scene in September. Since then, he has been primarily publishing vlogs. And not only that, he does this every day. Since September 2017, “HeyMoritz” has been publishing so-called “DailyVlogs” which he records, edits and publishes on the same day. Although there were smaller breaks on the channel, which were due to an upload block, “HeyMoritz” circumvented this clever and published his videos in the time on a second channel founded by him with the name “HeySoosritz”.

His Daily Vlogs are now at almost 700 editions, making them the longest running Daily Vlogs in the German scene.

Furthermore, in 2018, “HeyMoritz” starred in the third season of the show “Spotlight” aired on the TV channel Nickelodeon. His character in the show was called Tim and so “HeyMoritz” made his first acting experiences.

Furthermore, he starred in the 2019 feature film “Misfit”.

On his channel a new vlog appears every day which takes a place in his “DailyVlog” series. So to his already nearly 700 Daily Vlogs, a new one is added every day. However, he has also decided to stop the Daily Vlogs and post “infrequent” videos. Still, several new videos appear on his channel every week. Furthermore, he has already gained well over 1.3 million subscribers on his channel “HeyMoritz”, who enjoy watching his daily videos.
