About a week ago, there were strange activities on the Instagram channel of the ZDF show Bares für Rares. Now the mystery surrounding it has been solved and announced who the show will go live with on Twitch next week.
Who is Bares für Rares going live with on Twitch? After an alleged “hacker attack” on the Instagram channel of Bares für Rares, the community speculated on who might be behind it. It was finally “revealed” that it was supposed to be an intern who allegedly demanded a joint Twitch stream with a “famous Twitch streamer” in return.
Meanwhile, a new TikTok video from Bares für Rares has clarified who will make their debut on Twitch with the ZDF show: Peter Smit from PietSmiet. The debut livestream is scheduled for Monday, November 24, 2025, at 6:30 PM on the ZDF Twitch channel (twitch.tv/zdf). It will be streamed from the original studio of Bares für Rares.
At first, it was speculated that it might be the Twitch streamer Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe. A not unreasonable assumption. After all, HandOfBlood has had various guests on his stream: both politician Robert Habeck and actor and director Michael “Bully” Herbig.
“Before GTA VI!?”
How does the community react? Although Bares für Rares is broadcast on linear television on the ZDF channel and addresses a different audience than online, the format has also made its way into the minds of younger viewers on social media. Especially through memes that are compiled and uploaded on TikTok and other platforms. For example, the “What will be” meme.
With the collaboration and livestream on Twitch, Bares für Rares seems to have hit the nail on the head. In the comments under the announcement TikTok, the community seems to be very positive:
- The Greeny_FV_TF can hardly believe it: “PIETSMIET X BARES FÜR RARES BEFORE GTA VI?!”
- Max is also a bit perplexed by the composition: “Peter X Horst was not on my list for 2025”
- Meaph0r is mourning the missed meeting of HandOfBlood and Horst Lichter a bit (source: Reddit): “I would have loved to experience the dynamic between Horst and President Knabe.”
Even more modern topics and items are repeatedly featured in the ZDF show. For example, Pokémon trading cards have already been traded at Bares für Rares for a considerable sum.
