I'm looking for nice and busy cafes like Espresso house preferably in P. Berg.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I have done city registration and got the Meldebestätigung document. Can you pls recommend a free bank account, I liked the C24 bank offering but read somewhere that they require a residence permit (correct me if city registration is enough) other option is commerzbank. At my residence I am using hotzone wifi(27€/month), can you recommend prepaid or contract plans which are cheap? Or any other recommendation like should I go for an unlimited sim plan and use mobile hotspot for laptop

Hi everyone,

I’m moving out of my 60 m² apartment in Berlin and had a discussion with my landlord. He's asking for €1,000 for painting costs and €500 for cleaning, but I’m wondering if these amounts are reasonable. The cleaning does not include the kitchen.

He insists on hiring a painter and not to paint it myself. Does this seem fair based on your experience? I’d appreciate any insights or advice, especially if you’ve been in a similar situation.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Berliners,
Ich werde diesen Monat geschäftlich in Berlin zu tun haben und von da aus in den Weihnachtsurlaub starten. Ich suche darum einen guten und vor allem modernen Friseur in Berlin, zu dem ich vorher hingehen kann. Wichtig wäre mir, dass der Salon vertraut ist mit trendigen stufigen Haarschnitten, vlt sogar gerne was (im Positiven Sinne) ausprobiert, und über die „Kreativität“ eines gewellten Instagram-Balayage hinausgehen kann.

Empfehlungen gerne willkommen. In/Nähe Kreuzberg wäre top. 🤗

Fußnote: ich bin w und habe glattes mittellanges Haar.

Da der Anbau jetzt legal ist und ich mir gerne stecklinge kaufen würde, wollte ich fragen ob ihr einen Laden in berlin kennt der feminisierte stecklinge verkauft? ich würde gerne auf Versand verzichten.

Hi,
does anybody know of a Gym, preferably one of the Holmes Places around the City or another one that is on Wellpass, which has a Nordic Track Treadmill? I know the Holmes Place in Hamburg has one, so wondered, if I could also find one in Berlin, while I'm there.
Thanks for helping, much appreciated

Hey Berliners, I would love to know if it is possible to take someone off a contract and de-register someone from the apartment if they cannot prove they’ve been living there and paying rent for a certain period of time. My partner and I broke up and I decided to move out, but recently they threatened to take me off the lease because of a disagreement. I wonder if it’s possible to do that without the consent of someone if they are still on the contract as a Hauptmeter

Hallo! I’m looking for recommendations for someone interested in fairy tales, folklore/mythology, C.G. Jung, symbols, dream interpretation, numerology, & the occult. I’m especially interested in fairy tales and fairy tale therapy. Are there any places, people, organizations, or upcoming events in Berlin you would recommend for those interests?

Thank you!

Our kids are really pushing for a pet. They have shown interest for years now and we always said no to anything beyond a fish. Well now we are softening and we researched different pets that could work well with kids:

Two daughters 7 and 4 (turning 5 in feb).

Our 7 year old is pretty responsible and after researching some top kid pets - we are dog people but dog is out for now until we move in a few years. Cat could be an option, we considered a hamster but they tend to be nippy/cranky from our experience.

Long story short we've narrowed it down to a rat or a cat. Cat is still pending allergy tests as mom has some pet/dander allergies. Our 7 year old is super excited about the idea of a rat. She LOVES crafting and building projects, so I thought this would go well with a rat as she can make little houses and toys for her friend. She is even more excited than the idea of a cat. So rat is high up in our list.

Our daughter is extremely excited about the idea of having 2 pet rats.

So I have a few questions for any rat owners in Berlin:

1. Do you think a couple of rats would be good pets for young kids to learn about pet ownership and responsibility?
2. How bad is the smell from their cage? Do people comment when they enter your home?
3. Where can one buy young rats to establish a bond early? Are petshops the best option, or are there breeders?
4. Could we visit and let our daughters spend a little time with a friendly rat to see if they like holding/playing with one?

Looking forward to any feedback or ideas here, or experience from other parents who have gotten rats as pets for their kids.

I see this every single time. Is this supposed to be an artistic thing or does it have a function?

Looking for nice bars with live dj sets for today ! Would love some recommendations

Where can I buy thinly sliced fatty meat used in hotpots? Something like this in the picture. I think it is called Shabu-Shabu.

I believe it will be available in some Asian super markets. I checked couple of them , but could not find. Does anyone know where can I buy this?

Did you ever had any problems with your landlords because of your pets? If so, can you share what happened? I'm considering adopting a cat but I live in a rented furnished apartment.

Hi,

I am struggling to get a part time job. Does anyone have any sites they recommend applying from? Is this time of year not the best time to apply? I got some feedback from restaurants that they don’t have too many customers during winter and therefore don’t want to hire extra staff.

Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated! TIA

Hello, 
I have quite a niche question regarding Kunstpädagogik.
It would be a real dream of mine to study this as a Weiterbildung/Umschulung and will be requesting the Agentur für Arbeit for a Bildungsgutschein.
I have been informed that a "Absichtserklärung" (Letter of Intent) from a business or person I know or locating job posts would be very useful when making the application to the Amt.
Does anyone work in the field and can help?
I would be forever grateful for any tips!

On thursday evening my 5 year Oldenburg dsughter lost her cuddle toy somewhere between "Bouchestraße" and "Heidelberger Straße" in Alt Treptow.

Has anyone seen it?

Made a new post due to finding a better picture.

Hallo zusammen,

mein Partner und ich (beide Mitte/Ende 30) überlegen uns aktuell eine Paar Therapie zu machen. Wir sind seit ca 5 Jahren zusammen, die letzten 3 davon on and off. Mittlerweile ist es so festgefahren, dass wir beide das Gefühl haben, ohne Hilfe von außen kommen wir nicht weiter. So wie es bisher gelaufen ist, sind wir uns beide einig, kann es nicht weiter gehen. Wir haben gewisse Themen und Trigger die verarbeitet werden müssen und uns fällt es schwer vergangene Themen in der Vergangenheit zu lassen. Wenn wir diese versuchen zu klären, verlieren wir uns oft in den jeweiligen Emotionen und kommen nicht weiter. Uns fällt es schwer die Bedürfnisse voneinander anzuerkennen und vielleicht im Kern zu definieren?

Nun zu der eigentlichen Frage: habt ihr Erfahrungen mit Paar Therapie und könnt diese teilen? Egal ob positiv oder negativ. Könnt ihr in Berlin jemanden empfehlen?

Hey, is there a place for lost and found items in Alt-Treptow? My daughter lost her dearest cuddling toy on thursday and we are looking for it desperately.

Any help is appreciated.

Is there any way to get cheap driving license? I home license expired after one week of my arrival in berlin. So, I am kind of stuck. Please guide.

I'm living with a creepy 33-year-old German man and another flatmate to avoid this situation. He is Haupmieter's son, and he manages everything instead of her. The problem is that he has been stalking me. He screamed at me and attacked me emotionally in person and by violent text multiple times, and it is still going on. He faked the documents, unfairly changed my contract lines, and pushed me to pay the fees from the other tenant in the past. Yeah, not surprising, he is threatening me and another flatmate with anything he can find all the time.

I was like, oh, I will move out and leave this looser soon, so I handled it pretty well with a confident attitude. But now he is getting even worse. I started feeling I needed real support until I moved out.

I found Berliner Mieterverein e.V., but I need help for my safety day-to-day. I'm a pretty young foreign girl.

What can I do at this point? Any suggestions? Is there any law assistance for immigrants?

Hi all! I am headed to Berlin in January and I was thinking of posting some gifts in the Maxi size to my friends in Australia... any fun gift ideas?

Thanks Berliners!

Hey, irgendwie kommt es mir so vor als ob alle möglichen deutschen Großstädte Comedy Serien haben, die in den Städten spielen. Also, zum Beispiel Hamburg (Die Discounter, Der Tatortreiniger), Köln (Stromberg), Köln/Bonn (Pastewka), Münster (Das Künstlerkollektiv), Potsdam (jerks). Aber ich glaube, es gibt keine Comedy Serie für/in Berlin, oder? Oder hab ich da was übersehen? Bin da für Empfehlungen offen :)

Hello,

I found a temporary housing in Berlin through a company called as Siwoba. Had a viewing of the apartment along with the person who is the listed as key person of the company. He showed the apartment and gave us the Sublease contract of 2 pages.

Are sublease contracts only 2 pages?

How do you as locals verify a contract? Or check whether the rental company is Genuine?

I would like to sell a laptop and two mobile phones. They are several years old. I don't expect big bucks, but I also don't want to get scammed. Do you know a store who would buy these? I don't prefer Kleinanzeigen for this.

Hey everyone, I’m turning 18 in January and I’m looking for a nice, calm location to celebrate my birthday. As a student, I don’t have a big budget. Do you know of any hidden spots? I’m just looking for something like a “room” with some seating options for a small party. Cheers 🤙🏼

My friend and I are looking for the liveliest party area to stay in.

1. Which area do you recommend? Also, if you have any tips on hostels, please do share.
2. We've visited the south east of Central Berlin and the farthest we've been to in the west was Potsdammer. Is there anything worth visiting from Potsdammer to the west?
3. What's a street/district that's known for a lot of bars and pubs? We'd like to do bar hopping.
