Bar recommendation for Wednesday night?

tbh wednesday nights can be hit or miss in berlin but i'd say check out about blank in friedrichshain, they sometimes have midweek events and it's not as crowded as weekend. the door is usually pretty relaxed on wednesdays too, just don't show up hammered. if you want something more spontaneous, monarch in kreuzberg does a karaoke night on wednesdays that gets pretty fun around 11pm

Honestly for a Wednesday I'd check out Klunkerkranich on top of the Neukölln Arcaden, it's got a nice vibe midweek and the view's sick. Not sure if it's packed but it's usually open and chill.

if you want something a bit more lowkey try hopfenreich in friedrichshain, it's a craft beer spot that's usually open wednesdays and has a cozy crowd, not super clubby tho

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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