Are smaller events inside Tiergarten allowed during RaveThePlanet?
Is it allowed to bring small DJ equipment inside the perimeter of Tiergarten during RaveThePlanet (or prior the beginning)?
I… We are looking for an answer to the following questions if anyone knows:
Is it allowed to bring small DJ equipment inside the perimeter of Tiergarten during RaveThePlanet (or prior the beginning)?
Is it allowed to play music during the event? (it probably will be covered by the main event but still)
Does Police block these events?
Context:
RaveThePlanet is a nice event but not everyone (us included) can stay all day chasing trucks between thousands of people all jammed in the street in the unbearable heat so we had an idea:
We would like to organise a small event in the middle of Tiergarten where people walking and bystanders can stop by and dance a bit to music in the shade of trees and away from the main event in a place where no damage to the place/pollution can be made, the event would be running from 4pm until the end of RaveThePlanet.
Our setup consists of 2 Soundsboks on speaker stands, a table and a Pioneer controller and a bunch of helping hands to clean up the area from trash, our priority is to be respectful to the place and in our other 3 events we have always had great feedback for how we left the place.
We are looking for an answer to these question as last year I recall many people with their own Soundboks or speakers dancing in smaller groups around the venue but not properly having a slightly "bigger setup".
Thank you in advance all for helping us be informed if anyone knows.
You can technically have a small gathering in Tiergarten since it's a public park, but the moment you set up speaker stands and a table with a controller, you're running a public event without a permit. The police and Ordnungsamt do patrol during RaveThePlanet, and they'll ask you to pack it up if they see a proper setup. The groups with a single Soundboks are fine because they look like friends hanging out, not an organized thing.
If you really want to do this, lose the stands and the table. Put the speakers on the ground, keep it quiet enough that you can hold a conversation over it, and don't look like you're running anything official. Even then, if someone complains about noise or a park ranger walks by, you're still taking a risk. I've seen people get fined for less in that park.
honestly the bigger risk isnt the police it's other attendees thinking ur trying to compete with the main event. i'd just keep it low key with one speaker and no stands tbh
yeah this gets asked every damn year. no you can't set up your own sound system in the park during rave the planet. the cops will absolutely shut that down if they see it, they patrol the whole area pretty heavily. the little groups with a single soundboks you saw last
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.
