Where to find friends mid 20s/30s?
I've had the most luck with recurring hobby groups rather than one-off events. The climbing gyms like Boulderklub or Ostblock have a pretty social vibe where people actually chat between routes, and there's a natural reason to keep showing up. Also, neighborhoodkiez cafes often have little notice boards for book clubs or board game nights that aren't on social media, you just have to walk in and look.
The bar at Prater Garten is a solid spot if you go enough times to become a regular. Sit at the long table near the entrance on a quiet weekday afternoon, not a Saturday night. People in their late 20s and 30s tend to show up solo or in pairs and are open to talking. I've made two lasting friends there just by asking what someone was reading or if they knew which beer was actually good that week.
imo the key is finding people who are also looking for friends, not just people who happen to be around. the app "nebenan" is good for that, people post about wanting to start a book club or a running group in their kiez. also try the "friends" feature on bumble, it's less awkward than it sounds. i found my current d&d group there and we've been meeting weekly for like 8 months now at a bar in prenzlauer berg. consistency is literally everything here, just keep showing up to the same thing and eventually people stop being strangers

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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