Is there a backpack storage at Tempodrom?

The Tempodrom doesn't have any official storage on site, you're right about that small bag rule. If you're coming from the south or have time to swing by, there's a luggage locker place inside the S-Bahn station at Yorckstraße, about a 15 minute walk away. It's called "Locker" or something similar, just follow the signs in the station, and it's usually under 5 euros for a locker big enough for a normal backpack.

fwiw there's a tourist info spot right at the u-bahn station "Möckernbrücke" that might hold bags for you, it's like a 5 min walk from tempodrom. not sure if they still do it but they used to have a service for like 3 euros. otherwise there's a späti on the corner of Köthener Straße that sometimes lets you leave stuff for a few bucks if you ask nicely, pretty informal but works in a pinch

yeah they don't really have a proper bag drop at tempodrom, it's a bit annoying. there's a paid luggage storage place called "left luggage" at ostbahnhof which is like a 10min walk or one u-bahn stop away, think it's around 4-5 euros for a day. or if you're coming from hauptbahnhof they've got lockers too, just depends on your direction

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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