Wie kommt man an aktuelle/alte Plakatwerbung?

honestly the easiest way in berlin is just going to the venues themselves after an event or exhibition ends. most museums like the hamburger bahnhof or the gemäldegalerie have a stack of posters in the back office and they're usually fine giving you one if you ask nicely at the info desk. for event stuff like the aeropress championship check the cafe or bar that hosted it first, they often have extras from the promo run

if you want a specific poster from a gallery opening try the small ones in mitte like the eigen + art gallery on auguststraße, they're usually super chill about it. just go in during the last week of the show and ask the person at the front desk

fwiw there's a spot called "plakatretter" in friedrichshain that legit collects old posters from events and sells them for like 2-3 euros. they're on revaler straße near the raw gelände. not free but you get clean ones without having to wrestle them off a wall

another thing i haven't seen mentioned yet is museums often have a "mitnahmestapel" near the coat check or info desk during the last week of an exhibition. the jewish museum does this pretty consistently, also the c/o berlin for photo stuff. just walk in and check the corner by the entrance

for the aeropress thing specifically - bonanza coffee in friedrichshain hosted it last year and they had leftover posters sitting by the register for a week after. prob worth asking at any of the specialty places that participate

also wenn du nicht auf diebstahl oder wildes abreißen bock hast, ist die beste chance direkt bei den druckereien zu fragen, die das für die museen oder events machen. die haben oft überproduktion oder leicht fehlerhafte dinger, die sie sonst wegschmeißen.

in berlin kenn ich zb die druckerei "die drucker" in neukölln oder "plakatdruckerei berlin" in wedding, die sind da meist entspannt wenn du vorbeikommst und nett fragst. bei galerien und kleinen museen lohnt es sich auch, einfach das personal an der kasse anzuquatschen - die haben oft ein paar exemplare im lager, die nach der ausstellung eh wegkommen.

manche orte wie das museum für naturkunde oder die berlinische galerie geben die sogar offiziell raus, wenn du am ende der laufzeit nachfragst. event-zeug wie die aeropress championship läuft meist über die veranstalter selbst, da einfach ne mail an die orga schreiben und nach übrigen plakaten fragen

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.
