Firework in Kreuzberg o. Schöneberg?

probably from the willy-brandt-platz direction, that area around the finnlandisches restaurant always has random pops this time of year. schoneberg is quieter tbh, more family stuff over by akazienstrasse. if you want to avoid it stick near bayernallee, the old folks there call the cops fast

yeah i can hear them too, prob from the türkenmarkt area or near hermannplatz. they go hard every year around silvester but people start early in kreuzberg, like weeks before. if it's really loud rn it's prob some kids testing leftovers from last year

I'm near Kottbusser Tor and it's definitely coming from around there, some people have been setting stuff off since like 5pm. If you want to dodge the noise, head over to Viktoriapark, it's usually calmer up on the hill.

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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.
