Schönes Geschirr / Beautiful dishes?
Looking for stores with nice dish… Hi, ich bin für ein Geschenk auf der Suche nach Tipps für Läden mit schönem Geschirr in Berlin. Am besten bunt/gemustert und ausgefallen. Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar.
Looking for stores with nice dishes (plates/bowls etc.), preferably colorful and with patterns. Thank you!
fwiw, check out a place called "Frau Gerda" near Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain. they have a mix of vintage and new stuff, lots of colorful handmade pieces from local ceramists. not the cheapest but youll find stuff you wont see anywhere else. if youre open to secondhand, the flea market at Mauerpark on sundays has some gems too, just gotta dig a bit
Schon mal bei Manufactum in den Hackeschen Höfen vorbeigeschaut? Die haben zwar eher traditionelle Muster, aber oft ausgefallene Farbkombinationen. Wenn du richtig bunt und verspielt magst, schau dir auch die Villeroy & Boch Outlets an, da gibt es oft ältere Kollektionen günstiger - in Berlin gibt's eins in der Alten Schönhauser Straße.
for handmade quirky stuff try "Kauf dich glücklich" near rosenthaler platz, they have these super colorful patterned plates that are pretty unique. also "Dussmann" has a surprisingly good home section with some wild designs
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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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.
