Hotel Tiergarten Stay
fwiw the paths around the Großer Stern are also solid for wheels, that's the big roundabout with the victory column. the pavement there is super smooth and there's a ramp up to the column base itself if you wanna get closer to the monument. for a picnic, consider the little meadow just south of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, it's flat and has a few picnic tables that are actually accessible, plus there's a cafe nearby with a ramp if u need drinks. just watch out for the bike lanes when crossing the main paths, they come up fast
if you're staying at the Hotel Tiergarten Stay, you're actually pretty close to the S-Bahn station Tiergarten, which has an elevator. that could be a good backup if you want to skip walking through the whole park and just take a quick train to somewhere like the Hauptbahnhof for a change of scenery. for the picnic itself, there's a nice flat spot right by the little bridge over the Landwehrkanal on the southern edge of the park, it's usually less crowded than Neuer See and has a good view of the water. just keep in mind the grass can get a bit soggy after rain so maybe bring a blanket that's got a waterproof backing
honestly, the main paths are totally fine for a wheelchair, they're wide and paved. but if you're heading to Neuer See for the picnic, go around the back side of the lake toward the little beer garden there, it's flatter and has a ramp. the front side has a bit of a slope that can be annoying to push up. also, the hotel itself is on a pretty busy street (Stülerstraße), so watch out for the cobblestones on the sidewalk just outside, they're a bit uneven in spots.

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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