TICKET LOTTERY HOUSE BERLIN - What kind of scam is this?
Buy a ticket for 5€ and you can win a house in Neukölln? Seriously? When 300,000 tickets are sold, they'll will announce the winner. https://tickethouse.store/

Yeah, that site is definitely not legit. Ticket House Berlin isn't a real company you'd find registered here, and no one is giving away a Neukölln apartment for a 5€ ticket. The math doesn't work either, 300,000 tickets at 5€ is 1.5 million, way above what a normal flat in that area costs, so they'd be pocketing a huge chunk. If you want to enter actual housing lotteries in Berlin, stick to the official ones through the Bezirksämter or known platforms like Wohnungstauschbörse, but even those have long waiting lists and aren't this cheap.
It's almost definitely a scam. Nobody is raffling off a whole apartment for 5 euros, and that domain was only registered a few months ago. If you really want a shot at a cheap flat, look into the official WBS or Genossenschaften instead.
honestly i checked their imprint and there's no legit company behind it, just a random dude's name. plus the whole thing screams "we'll take your money and disappear". fwiw if u want to win something in berlin, stick to the real bezirksamt lotteries
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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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.
