Google knows: The Germans were looking for these people

Every year, Google releases data on what's on people's minds in the country, according to searches on the search engine. The statistics also provide information about the interest in certain people. Unsurprisingly, no classic celeb tops the list in 2022.

Who's hot and who's not? This is how you could roughly translate the significance of the annual Google statistics on the search volume in the individual countries. The company is now also presenting data for Germany on what people in this country were particularly concerned about in 2022. Among other things, it is about the prominent people who have been googled with remarkable frequency.

Not only actors, musicians or influencers fall into this category. People from areas such as sports and politics were also taken into account. It is hardly surprising that Russia's President Vladimir Putin took the inglorious first place.

Directly behind them, however, are Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, whose War of the Roses has made such waves that they are enough for second and third place. With the ex-Wimbledon winner Boris Becker, who was sentenced to imprisonment for tax evasion, and the still tennis star Novak Djokovic, the sport is represented in fourth and fifth place in the ranking.

Fynn Kliemann took sixth place. Probably not known to many before 2022, the influencer only gained sad notoriety among large parts of the population through his mask affair in the Corona crisis. Will Smith shouldn't be particularly proud of his eighth place in this overview either. After all, he certainly owes this to his freak out at the Oscars, where he smacked comedian Chris Rock on the open stage.

Positions seven, nine and ten belong to Tina Ruland, Harald Glööckler and Anouschka Renzi. How that can be, some will ask themselves. It's simple: The two actresses and the fashion designer were part of this year's season of "I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!". And the jungle camp simply still has the potential to mobilize the masses.

But where is the Queen in this list? Google has again carried out a separate evaluation for deaths. As expected, Elizabeth II is in first place in this. Behind them in places two to ten are musicians Aaron Carter, actress Anne Heche, football icon Uwe Seeler, singer Meat Loaf, actor Uwe Bohm, his colleague Hardy Krüger, entrepreneur Rainer Schaller, singer Olivia Newton-John and the late Foo Fighters -Drummer Taylor Hawkins.
