Does anyone know where I can get metal cut?

You could try a Fahrradladen that does custom builds or repairs. Some of the older shops in Kreuzberg, like Rad und Tat on Oranienstraße, have the tools and might do it for a small fee. If not, they'll point you to someone who will. Also check Kleinanzeigen for a local metalworker or hobbyist with an angle grinder, people offer that service on there for cheap.

Check for a Makerspace or a Werkstatt in your neighbourhood. Places like FabLab Berlin or Wildwuchs Werkstatt have all the tools for metal work and you can usually use them for a small membership fee or a hourly rate. The one in Neukölln near Rathaus Neukölln is pretty straightforward about walk-ins with small jobs like yours.

honestly your best bet is a metalworking shop or a Schlosserei. there's a bunch in wedding and neukölln, look for ones that do custom fabrication. they'll charge like 5-10 euros for a simple cut and it'll be cleaner than anything you'd do with a rental grinder. plus they can deburr the edge so it doesn't mess up your bike frame

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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