Where to buy cheap/good value flowers for gf?

honestly skip the tourist traps near alexanderplatz, they charge double for the same stems. check out any of the weekly markets like the one at winterfeldtplatz on saturdays, there's a guy with the best tulips for like 4 bucks and they last a week. also, edeka or rewe sometimes have surprisingly decent bouquets near the fridge section, 5 euros and not bad if you're in a pinch. turkish markets are solid too but go early, by noon the good stuff's picked over.

The flower shop at Markthalle Neun on Eisenbahnstraße is a good shout, they get fresh stock from the Netherlands every Thursday and Friday and do simple bunches for around 6 euros. If you're flexible on type, grab whatever's seasonal, the ranunculus and anemones there beat tulips any day. Also, the little stall outside the U-Bahn at Yorckstraße on Saturdays has proper market prices, like 3 euros for a solid bundle, but you have to be okay with slightly imperfect stems, they're honest about it.

if you're near warschauer str, the weekly market at boxhagener platz on sundays has cheap tulips straight from the growers, like 3-4 euro a bunch. otherwise hit up a turkish market, they always have decent flowers for way less than any blumenladen. avoid the späti bouquets, they're overpriced and die in a day

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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