I'm constantly getting buzzed by delivery drivers. It's driving me insane.

Basically, I live in a pretty giant complex of apartments under the same street number.

I work from home, and I've now arrived at a point where every single delivery company in the area (DHL, Amazon, Hermes, you name it) has realized I work from home and now don't really even seem to try and ring doorbells of people who the parcels are for and instead ring mine. It doesn't help that my buzzer is a bit distinct from the rest and separate so it's very easy to remember which one is mine. The last week or so, I have woken up every morning because one of them is ringing my buzzer to be let in, sometimes as early as 7 a.m. which is starting to grate on me (I'm a severe insomniac so every minute of sleep is precious to me and I usually can't fall back asleep after) I have tried ignoring the buzzer but they tend to start spamming it very aggressively if I don't let them in which severely disrupts my work and sleep. I can't turn the buzzer off and most of the days I never see the delivery person in question because they're not actually delivering to me, they just use me as a door opener. They do tend to come to my door if they can't find anyone else to dump the parcels on though, even if there's nothing for me. At first I didn't mind but lately it's been extremely taxing to have your hallway flooded with people's Christmas presents and people constantly knocking on your door to retrieve them so I've started to ignore knocking unless I expect a delivery myself Whenever I see the delivery guys, I've tried to tell them to not use my buzzer unless they're delivering to me but they generally don't seem to care. And yeah I get it, they have a shitty job and it's hectic as hell and they just try to save time wherever possible but there's only so many times I can get woken up too early before I start getting annoyed Any ideas of what I could do or should I just resign and act as a door opener? I don't know how I would even approach complaining to the companies themselves and taking out my buzzer entirely is not ideal because sometimes I do have a parcel or takeout order coming in. Any ideas are welcome

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?

I noticed that the street name is spelled differently on three separate signs in the Charlottenburg area. Can anyone confirm the correct official spelling and whether this is a known issue?

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.
