Abstract
Citing the open-content-project Wikipedia as a reference work is still very much under discussion. Some critics recognize it as a pioneering form of publication while others vote for a strict ban. Considering the popularity of Wikipedia as a source of informa-tion among students of German as a foreign language at the University of Kassel, articles in Wikipedia are compared with those in relevant printed reference books. Samples are based on information on the number of learners of German as a foreign lan-guage, multilingualism, and podcasting.
