Taco Bell Berlin Opening? Any Updates?

yeah i live like 10 min from that hackescher markt spot and pass it almost daily. the sign's been up for weeks but it's def not open yet, looks like they're still doing interior work from what i can see through the windows. no idea when it'll actually open, the whole thing's been super quiet since summer.

I've been checking their Instagram page and they've gone completely silent since August, which is a bit odd. The Schloßstraße location in Steglitz that was rumored also hasn't materialized. I'd just keep an eye on the Hackescher Markt spot since that's the only one with actual physical branding up.

The Mitte location near Hackescher Markt is still not open as of late September. I walked past it last week and the signage is up but the doors were locked and it looked empty inside. Some people in the Berlin food groups think it might open closer to November now but that's just speculation.

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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