My WG host is acting all weird. Any advise? In Berlin.
What to do with my WG host (German, 51, Divorced) acting all weird, probably in a depression, stopped eating, stopped drinking coffee… I don't know where to write except here since I live in Berlin...
What to do with my WG host (German, 51, Divorced) acting all weird, probably in a depression, stopped eating, stopped drinking coffee he was doing like 5 times a day, probably it's been like this for a week now.
Today he stopped feeding his cat and do toilet cleaning, which I found the most terrible thing because cats can't do shit by themselves. I knocked his room, asked if he has more food for the cat and he said NO and he's not feeling well, that's it, so I just went to shop a few minuites ago.
He still smokes in his room and goes to bathroom for toilet but I don't think he's taking shower either like for a week, I can hear the sound.
I don't think his son is dead because I assume he should have been busy preparing the funeral?
Maybe he's found he has a final stage of cancer, lost hard in gambling?
I told him to tell me if anything's wrong but he only said he's difficult and not feeling well.
Actually he asked me to hang out ( a week ago ) which never happent before and I thought it's good, but since then he started poking my privacy too much and I wasn't really comfortable at all, like he came to come into my room after midnight, I told him to stop...he understood and I still wanted to go out for a bar, to hear what's happening to him but two days ago he rejected this plan by saying he's not feeling like it.
After the incident he told me how grateful he is to have me as a roommate, so I think something is up to him...
For more ref, he was never like this.
He's introverted but he talks when we meet in the kitchen or we shared a nice moment like so, we said we liked each other (not like lovers) and I did trust him, such a good German man with a cute cat. He sometimes bakes a cake or often cooks meal for himself and kept himself clean. He's not a bad person at all.
Also I never feel like he wanted to have sex with me, he already said he find me like a daughter.
He's not opening up anymore and I hope he doesn't hang himself.
I don't know his fson's number, or ex wife, I don't think he has friends after observing him for 3 months since I started living in here.
I don't think police could help because he doesn't do much yet, I could think of Berlin hotlife but it's not my shit but I'm kinda afraid he's going to do suicide at some point. I don't know what to do:(
Berlin's a wild place. Is your WG host suddenly super quiet, super chatty, or something else entirely? More details might help. Maybe they're just having a bad week, or maybe there's something else going on. Try a casual chat, see if they're open to talking about it. If things are really off, consider talking to other WG members.
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.
