Museum hopping today?

fwiw the computer games museum is pretty small so you'll breeze through it in an hour or two, especially if you're not reading every single exhibit panel. technikmuseum is the real time sink, I'd start there first and then walk over to the games one after since they're like a 5 min walk apart on Trebbiner Straße. also if you get hungry between them there's a solid döner spot called Pamfilya right around the corner on Luckauer Straße, cheap and quick

solid museum choices, the technikmuseum is massive so you could easily spend 3-4 hours there without noticing. just a heads up, the computer games museum is tiny and honestly feels more like a big arcade room than a proper museum, so if you're expecting deep history you might be underwhelmed. if you wanna swap one out, the museum für naturkunde is also free today and has that famous dinosaur skeleton, it's a 15 min walk from the technikmuseum down Invalidenstraße. crowds will be wild everywhere though, bring patience and maybe a snack

oh nice, the technikmuseum is huge you could honestly spend all day there and the computer games museum is just down the street from it so that's a solid combo. fair warning though the technikmuseum can get super packed on free sundays so maybe go early if you can

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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