What's your favorite memory you've made in Berlin?
Ich weiß, dass wir im Allgemeinen Dinge kritisieren, mit denen wir in der Stadt frustriert sind und was nicht. Aber ich dachte, es könnte vielleicht cool sein, zu hören/zu teilen, was uns dazu gebracht hat, hier zu leben - oder eine wirklich schöne, lustige oder seltsame Erinnerung an das Leben hier, die bei dir steckt. Und dann verspreche ich, dass wir wieder entlüften können, haha
one time i got completely lost in tempelhofer feld at like 2am during a meteor shower, just laid down on the old runway with a random group of people i met there. someone had a bluetooth speaker playing really quiet ambient music and we just watched the sky for hours. felt like the whole city was asleep except for us
Late one winter night I was walking home from a friend's place in Wedding and passed by this tiny Späti on Reinickendorfer Straße that had a handwritten sign in the window saying "heißer Glühwein 1,50€." I went in and the guy behind the counter was just blasting old Turkish folk music, poured me a cup from a pot he had on a hot plate, and then insisted I try his homemade baklava. It was maybe 11pm on a Tuesday, the street was dead quiet, and I just stood there for twenty minutes talking to him while the snow started falling outside. That's the Berlin I fell for - the unexpected little moments of warmth in the middle of an otherwise cold, chaotic city.
Honestly one of my favorite memories was just stumbling into an open air techno party in some random park in Neukölln last summer. No clue who organized it, but everyone was just vibing, sharing beers with strangers, and the sun was setting over the city. Felt like Berlin at its best for a sec.
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.
