Would I have any luck finding a doctor that's open today?

fwiw if you're near Wedding the KV Bereitschaftsdienst on Bredtschneiderstr is open sundays too. been there before on a sunday morning and it wasn't too bad, maybe 45 min wait. just check the hours online first cause they sometimes close early without warning

honestly your best bet is checking doctolib or 116117.de for emergency slots. today is tricky since most Praxen close around noon on saturdays but there are a few Bereitschaftsdienst places scattered around. the one at Charite Mitte is open till 8pm if you're really desperate, just bring your insurance card and expect a wait

if you're near kreuzberg, the praxis am friedrichshain on warschauer str sometimes has walk-in hours on saturdays but i'd call first. 116117 is the safest bet for sunday though, they'll tell u exactly where's open

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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