Is there any workshop space available for hourly rent in Berlin?

The building workshop at Haus der Statistik on Otto-Braun-Strasse rents out woodworking space by the hour. You get access to the machines and some basic tools included in the rate, which is around 5 euros per hour for members. They also offer induction sessions if you are not familiar with the equipment. You can just walk in during their open hours and ask about availability.

honestly if you're fine with a bit of a trek, Werkstatt in der Hasenheide near the Tempelhofer Feld does hourly rentals for woodworking. they've got a solid setup with band saws and planers, but you gotta book ahead on their website since slots fill up fast especially on weekends. last i checked it was like 8 euros an hour for non-members, and they make you do a quick safety briefing first which is worth it imo

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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