Being a young woman and feeling unsafe is a really tough situation. It sucks.
that's rough, i'm sorry. fhain is better than wedding for sure but honestly some of the worst street harassment i've had was around boxhagener platz. the bars near there can be a mixed bag too, lots of tourists and guys who think it's a pickup spot. if you haven't already, maybe try some of the smaller bars on the ringbahn side of frankfurter allee, they tend to have more regulars and a calmer vibe. also for getting home late, the tram lines like the M10 or M13 feel way safer to me than the u-bahn because there's more people and it's above ground
honestly the russian beer thing is pretty standard u-bahn nonsense, sorry u had to deal with that. for the bar situation, try schlesisches tor area instead of boxi, the bars along pflügerstraße are more chill and less touristy. also the 8 bus runs all night from hermannplatz to fhain and the drivers are usually pretty aware of sketchy stuff happening, i've seen them call cops on guys being creepy. maybe ask ur coworkers about their routes too, nightlife workers usually have a shared map of safer streets and spots to avoid
Berlin can feel really predatory for women, no question. Have you tried the "Berlin Companion" app where you can share your route with friends?

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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