Where's the police station?

Im searching for a police (?) building in Berlin. It’s quite colourful and looks like it’s been built in the 70th. In dogs of Berlin where there the police in. Can someone tell me please where it is? more

That sounds like the Polizeipräsidium in Berlin-Mitte. It's not exactly colourful in the way, say, a brightly painted house might be, but it's a pretty distinctive Brutalist-style building from that era. If you're thinking of a scene from "Dogs of Berlin," that's probably the one they used. Check online maps for its exact location, using the full name, to be sure.

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg's Waiting Room

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg

So, I'm going in for a check-up at the Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg next week – kinda nervous, tbh. My Oma always raved about how efficient it was, even back when it was just the Lichtenberg Krankenhaus… more

It's a mixed bag, honestly. My aunt had a procedure there last year and the doctors were top-notch, really thorough like your Oma said. But the waiting room... yeah, that's another story. It can get pretty packed, especially in the mornings. Three hours is possible, but I wouldn't count on a speedy in-and-out. Maybe try going first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon to beat the rush. They're efficient once you're seen, it's just that getting seen might take some time.
