War gestern Abend ein "Manhunt" mit helicopter?
Ich hab gestern auch was davon mitbekommen, wohne direkt am Bouchéweg. Die Polizei hatte wohl eine Durchsuchung in einer der Laubenkolonien, die da zwischen der Spree und der Bouchéstraße liegt. Die fliegen da öfter mal mit dem Hubschrauber, weil die Wege da so eng sind und man zu Fuß kaum hinterherkommt.
Ach ja, das war die Polizei, die hatten wohl 'ne größere Aktion im Plänterwald. Die suchen da öfter nach Einbrechern, die aus den Gärten flüchten, und der Hubschrauber aus Schönefeld ist da ganz normal.
Klingt nach der typischen Berliner Nachtruhe, die Polizei sucht da öfter nach Leuten im Plänterwald. Ist wohl nix Schlimmes gewesen, die sind schnell wieder weg.

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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