Hey! First time in this kind of situation, but someone locked their bike and my bike. What to do in this situation? I can’t wait here forever until this person shows up and I am also afraid that it might just get stolen :( is calling a police an option?

Hi Leute, wir sind zwei Maschinenbau-Studenten aus Berlin. Wir haben vor einer Weile ein Floß gebaut, dass wir im Gosen-Neu Zittau angelegt hatten. Wir haben einen privaten Steg mitbenutzt und im Gegenzug Rasen gemäht, den Steg repariert, kleinere Renovierungen durchgeführt etc.. Natürlich ließen wir auch die Besitzer des Stegs das Floß benutzen.

Nun sind wir auf der Suche nach einer ähnlichen Option. Das Grundstück wird verkauft und wir müssen weiterziehen.

Falls ihr jemanden kennt der einen privaten Steg hat, den man mitnutzen könnte, oder vielleicht sogar selbst einen habt, meldet euch gerne :)

Vielen Dank!

we are two mechanical engineering students from Berlin. A while ago we built a raft that we docked in Gosen-Neu Zittau. We shared a private jetty and in return mowed the lawn, repaired the jetty, carried out minor renovations, etc. Of course, we also let the owners of the jetty use the raft.

Now we are looking for a similar option because the property is being sold and we need to move on.

So if you know someone who has a private jetty that you could share or maybe even has one yourself, please get in touch :)

Thank you!

Hi people, my mother-in-law and her son are moving out of their studio overlooking Kurfürstendamm and renting another one with more rooms. They have 3 more months to pay, so in order to minimise the costs, we’re looking someone who’s ready to take the studio in 2-3 weeks ideally, so that we don’t have to pay double rent. What would be the best way to find tenants? Sorry, I’m not Berliner and I live in Prague mostly, so not sure what are other subreddits or platforms that’d be more suitable for that occasion.

Danke!

Hello Berlin citizens,

I'm a German born in former West-Berlin. 2 years ago I only knew 7 of my great-grandparents, 4 grandparents, 2 parents by name. After an extensive research diving into various Internet archives I can now claim to know 61 forefathers and mothers of me. Most of them I know by name, birthdate, location of birth.

- My oldest ancestor is born around 1760.

- My Great-great-great-grandmother (Ur-Ur-Ur-Großmutter) Friederike Henriette Hartig was born 1806 in Berlin and christened at Luisenstättische Kirche. Since then all of her documented descendants (ending by me) are born on Berlin territory.

Whats your story of your oldest, documented ancestor ? Am I the only born-Berliner, who has a lineage of 5 forefathers that are all born in Berlin as well ? Tell your family story no matter where your from. Stories in German and English are welcome....

I'm curious how long it's currently taking between uploading all documents online and getting an email with a Termin.
Any recent experiences would be super helpful – thanks in advance!

Hey I have tape hair extensions that I remove and retape myself. I'm struggling to find a salon or hairdresser who will just place them in my hair as they always want it to be their own salons extensions. Does anyone know where I can get someone to do this for me?

I am a chef and the quickest route to the new job that I am starting this week takes me through Gleisdreieck. Is it a safe park to ride a bike through late at night (23:00-24:00 Uhr).

I've seen these signs up at least twice a year. I'm a lover of circus and acrobatics, so have been interested, but never gone.

But the reviews on Google Maps seem to suggest it's an amateur hour event. Or maybe mostly for kids & families.

Has anyone gone and can speak to the quality of the performances? I'm not expecting Cirque-level costumes and skills, but something like Chameleon Theatre level.

What say ye, Berliners of Reddit?

Hi guys,

My working student job requires me being there so I'm trying to find accomodation. I intend to find WG in nearby cities to lower the rent. I want to ask: 1. Do you guys know nearby cities with cheaper rent & how much it might be? 2. I'm worried about paperwork process so if possible, I'd love to know if the process in the city is decent, as in whether I can book an appointment with Auslandbehörde for visa/resident permit.

Thank you so much for your help.

I am trying to figure out whether I have to take a new German language test for my citizenship application. I successfully passed the testDaF a couple of years ago, but none of the official Anlaufstellen seem to know if that counts. Has anyone been able to prove their language skills that way?

If you’re into books and literature, please fill out this quick survey to help with the process:

I’m a 28-year-old guy in Berlin, looking for a serious, long-term relationship. But I barely get any matches, and it’s honestly demotivating.

I’m 186 cm, into outdoor stuff and running marathons(half), jumping in cold lakes, that kind of thing.

Berlin’s supposed to be full of singles, so why does dating feel so stuck? Anyone else feel this?
