DER-bot? Wasn't that a German movie from some years back? Are you sure it isn't from Hetzner?

Maybe Wolfgang Petersen is the bot runner.

Wolfgang Petersen? He directed the movie 'Das Boot' - and while 'der', 'die' and 'das' are German words for 'the', that does not mean, that 'DER-bot' (the bot) has anything to do with 'Das Boot' (the boat). :)

Anyhow, regarding to the about page of DER-bot, 'DER is an acronym for Developer Experimental Research' and I haven't seen it coming from Hetzner.

It DER-bot officially uses the following IP addresses (replace hyphens by periods):
192-241-132-78
67-205-144-185
67-205-158-186
67-205-158-199
198-199-80-150

That's the point... we're joking, not to be taken literally :)
