{Robert-Tillmanns-Haus: Lost Luggage, Found Memories?}

The hotel itse… My trip to Cologne was amazing, except for one tiny detail: my suitcase vanished into thin air sometime between the train station and the Robert-Tillmanns-Haus. Seriously, poof! Gone. The hotel itself was gorgeous, though. Old-world charm, seriously comfy beds, and a breakfast buffet that could feed a small army. I spent a day exploring the Dom, and even managed to stumble upon a fantastic little Kölsch brewery tucked away in a side street. The whole city felt electric, you know? But... my luggage. It had my favorite hiking boots, a new book I was excited to read, and frankly, clean underwear. The hotel staff were super helpful, of course, filed a report, the whole nine yards. My question is: Has anyone else ever experienced baggage disappearing into the Cologne ether around the Robert-Tillmanns-Haus? Any tips on how to navigate the lost luggage situation in Germany beyond the frustratingly slow bureaucracy? Seriously considering packing only essentials for my next trip... or maybe a GPS tracker for my luggage. What do you guys think?

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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