Overview

• Raab wiped most of his Instagram feed, leaving a roughly 39–40 second black video with background noise and a laugh, plus a near-black image labeled “.182.012.”
• Followers and outlets note the code can be parsed as 18-20-12 to map to the letters R‑T‑L, and some say the image faintly suggests the Cologne Cathedral.
• A similar 39-second black clip from retailer Edeka posted hours later prompted talk of a tie-in, which the company explicitly denied.
• TAG24 reports a new Friday clip with wind and Morse-like tones that some users interpret as hinting at 20:15, though this reading and the clip’s meaning remain unconfirmed.
• Context for the speculation includes Raab’s multi-year RTL deal and the already announced winter Saturday-night quiz ‘Die Unzerquizbaren’ with Elton, with no official link drawn to the teasers.
