Berlin cooking and baking communities?
I imagine these will be hosted at cafes and we'll have expe… I'm spending about 10 weeks in the city from May and I want to set up some meetups for people bonkers about baking and crazy about cooking.
I imagine these will be hosted at cafes and we'll have expert bakers and cooks sharing their secrets so we can all learn to make tastier creations.
I want these gatherings to be completely free except for the obvious drinks bought from hosts.
Are there already meetups like this in north/central Berlin? If not, is there a more suitable subreddit to find people who might like to co-host/come along?
Thanks for your patience as I ask the dumb questions.
yeah there's a spot in wedding called oma's kitchen that does community cooking events sometimes, not exactly what ur describing but they have a big open kitchen and might let u host something if u ask. they're on ruheplatzstraße near the m10 tram
for the baking part, check out the cafe lais on pappelallee in prenzlauer berg - they do little workshops and the owner's super chill about letting people use the space for free if ur buying coffee. i'd just walk in and talk to them, they're more responsive in person than through instagram
You might want to swing by a place like Frau Zeller in Wedding or the Cafe Pförtner in Gesundbrunnen. Both host occasional baking or fermentation workshops and attract a crowd that'd be into the idea of regular meetups. The Berlin auf Deutsch Facebook group also has a cooking thread where people organize swap-style gatherings, though it's mostly in German. If you're set on keeping it free and in cafes, hit up some of the smaller roasteries in Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg and ask the owners directly, a few of them have back rooms they're open to lending out for community events.
There's a group called Berlin Baking Club that meets up semi-regularly, usually around Kreuzberg or Neukölln. They're more about sharing what you've baked and swapping tips than having formal expert sessions, but the vibe is pretty open and beginner-friendly. You could reach out to them on Instagram to see if they'd want to collaborate or if they know a space that'd work for your idea.
For the cooking side, check out the Food Berlin Meetup group on Meetup.com. It's more focused on restaurant visits and supper clubs than hands-on cooking, but the people there are well-connected and might point you toward a kitchen space or a co-host who's into the teaching format.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
