Where is the nearest public drinking fountain to Mombiju Park ?
This map has been offline for years now. So how can I realistically locate drinking fountains generally? But also specifically by Mombiju park? I'm so thirsty but don't want to buy plastic water bottles unless it's an emergency.
There is a fountain right inside Mombiju Park itself, near the playground on the western side. It's not always turned on, depends on the season and maintenance, but it has been working consistently the last few summers. For a general backup plan, the app Trinkwasser is maintained by a small group of volunteers and has been more reliable than the official maps ever were. You can also just walk into any cafe on Brunnenstraße and ask for tap water, most will give it to you for free if you have your own bottle.
Both replies are good, but neither mentioned the fountain at the corner of Fehrbelliner Straße and Brunnenstraße, which is actually closer to the park's southern entrance than the one on Torstraße. It's a newer model, installed in 2022, and you'll find it right next to a bike repair station. If you want a general alternative to the apps, the Berliner Stadtplanung website still lists all public fountains by district as a downloadable PDF, though they update it only once a year.
The old Berliner Wasserbetriebe map was indeed handy while it lasted. For Mombiju Park specifically, there is a drinking fountain at the corner of Torstraße and Brunnenstraße, about a three minute walk from the park entrance. It is a standard silver pillar style one, usually works fine from spring through early autumn. For finding others generally, the app Refill Deutschland has a decent community maintained map that works better than the official one ever did.

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.
