Hi guys.

I am hoping someone can help me here, and i apologise if i am trying to farm connections or draw attention to my profile but really need advise and can't afford lawyers since i need to save up for potentially my flight ticket back home and for to have enough till i find a job back home too as i have no friends and family to stay with back home so i gotta prepare for plan B too. But it will truly suck because my step son is here too with my fiance and we are supposed to stick together but if it comes to it... they will follow me back home too.

And I am sorry for if i am posting in the wrong subreddit

A bit of background info: i had arrived in Germany in June of 2022 to reunite with my fiance who was relocated to Germany by adidas HQ. I was lucky enough to get a job immedietly in Karlsruhe and it was a temp role only then after that to find another role in Munich. Due to the current economic turmoil that the automotive industry in specific is facing in the EU specifically Germany, my company conducted mass layoffs of which i was a part of and they are currently in the process of going insolvent.

I have tried to change my LinkedIn profile and CV numerous times and networked but had no luck in getting through for interviews. and the few interviews i had felt like had something personal against me (increased rates of xenophobia towards arabs perhaps after the events of Israel/Palestine in 2023?) even though I had met every single point on the JD and matches the role in terms of experience.

I am starting to think that maybe i meant to go back home but i won't do so without a fight and giving it my all.

Therefore, i need advise here for now on what should my next steps. I am still applying everywhere and lowering my salary expectations to be something like 50K instead of what i received in my last role which was 60K gross annually because i understand the german economy is facing tough times and so are the businesses and i am flexible in that sense.

I am even thinking of prepping a video about myself but can't afford to pay for freelancers a large amount because need to save every penny. Once i have the video ready (up to 2 minutes) i need help in finding someone who can help edit the video for me as i am not an expert. Is there any chance someone can exchange services with me? perhaps we can help out each in some way.

Also, i am not sure what to do about the auslanderbehorde in Nürnberg, they had asked me what my plan is after i informed them of my situation (since my aufenthaltstitel expires in december 2026 but surely this is now a different story since i don't have a job that is tied to it).... but they haven't got back to me yet on next steps and how long i have left in the country. i heard i would get 6 months in the beginning (my last day at my last role was July 31, 2024) but i am imagining i have no safety net at all so i can have a sense of urgency). I am claiming unemployment benefits and the arbeitsagentur is willing to provide me these benefits till end of May 2025 and the BAMF has paid for me to undertake an integration kurs to learn german better which i am already doing and am on my 3rd week so far.

Can someone help me here please?

Would it also be possible to apply to universities for a PhD or a degree? would the authorities allow me to switch my visa? but then i guess my unemployment benefits would stop too...

Here is my profile for reference. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmedbucheeri/

Mein kleiner Bruder und seine dummen Freunde sind Ende letzter Woche zur stillgelegten Autobahn-Brücke am Heidelberger platz gegangen und wurden dabei von einer Security Kamera gefilmt. Er hat mir erzählt, dass ein Security Mann über Lautsprecher nur gesagt hat das sie da weg sollen und das er sie auf Video hat. Ich weiß nicht ob er mir alles erzählt hat aber muss ich mir Sorgen vor irgendwelchen Konsequenzen machen? Er ist 14 und seine Freunde so 15/16

What going on in Berlin? There is an ever increase in the number of beggers in S-Bahns and homeless persons in and around the stations.

There has been chatter about the slowdown in German economy, but it's surprising that it has gotten this bad so quick.

Hey community 👋 As promised, we have our beta version of the product available at https://www.kleinanzeigenkurier.de/

It is far from perfect. Do check it out! Would also highly appreciate any feedback.

Any good Greek places that make souflaki (gyro)?

Me (21 M) and two other friends, same sex and gender, are going to berlin this weekend. We were thinking tresor but none of us have complete black outfits, we have black shirts and black sneakers and blue jeans. Can we make it into tresor with this or should we look for more options?

Hello, visiting the city for about three weeks, i want to keep in shape/try something new (thinking bjj or judo) but don't want to sign up to a monthly plan, does anyone have any suggestions? bonus points if it is easy to get to from museum island!

danke in advance

Hi! Do you know of any running clubs / groups in Berlin, be it paid or free, that specializes in running?

I know of a few groups where people join to run together, but I'm looking for something less casual in the sense that there is not only running, but also some training focused on running drills, how to improve running form, or strength training specific for runners.

By no means I want to be a professional athlete, but I enjoy running a lot and, after almost getting injured during the Berlin Marathon this year (my right knee was on its limit), I feel I can have some professional help. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm a filmmaking student who recently moved to Berlin. In early December, we'll be shooting our first short film, and I'm planning to make a noir film about a thief robbing a safe.

I'm looking to borrow a small, preferably vintage-looking safe for one day. If anyone in Berlin has one they'd be willing to lend, I’d ensure it’s returned by the end of the day. I’d also be happy to offer a small fee or, if preferred, some food and drinks as a thank-you.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Godot

the person i intended to go with tonight couldn't make it so DM me and you can get the extra ticket for free at the gate of cassiopeia where the concert is

edit: somebody contacted via DM so the ticket is no longer available

Hi folks,

Thank you so much!

I'm compiling a daily newsletter for Berlin for the best meetups because eventbrite and meetup are full of random business coaching stuff and it's tiring to switch from this subreddit to others and check instagram for meetups.

Hence sign up if you are also onboard: https://www.moodwebapp.com/berlin-newsletter ❤️

Moin,

I’m a newish Berliner, currently stuck in that “in-between-apartment” limbo and about to spend two weeks in 10409 (Prenzlauer Berg). Even though Im almost a year here, I barely know this area, so I’m looking for some under-the-radar local gems.

Hit me with:

• Restaurants that aren’t just Instagram traps

• Non-smoking bars

• Parks or nice Spatzieren spots (hoping to catch those last autumn colors)

• Meetups, board game spots, cool Verein, maker spaces, or anywhere with friendly interaction

• Local markets

• Interesting or weird architecture and oddball finds in general

• Halloween events!

Cheers!

hey there thinking of going to watch either Terrifier 3 or Smile 2 tomorrow at the cinema. anyone interested?

I am bartending at a Halloween event tomorrow and want to have some red or black contact lenses.

Please help

Heyhey,

Ich weiß, dass Posts mit vergleichbaren Titeln hier regelmäßig auftauchen, aber ich bin wirklich viele Antworten von ähnlichen Posts durchgegangen und bin leider nach wie vor nicht fündig geworden. Deswegen wende ich mich an euch:

Ich bin auf der Suche nach einer Bar, in der Ende November ein Geburtstag gefeiert werden kann. Ich dachte meine Ansprüche seien nicht allzu utopisch, aber je länger ich suche, desto wahrscheinlicher erscheint es mir, dass ich meine Ansprüche runterschrauben muss. Meine Wunschvorstellung besteht aus 3-4 Punkten:

1. In der Bar wird nicht geraucht.
2. Es gibt Bier zu normalen Preisen (- wodurch die meisten Craftbeer- oder Cocktail-Bars wohl wegfallen).
3. Man kann grundsätzlich Plätze/Tische am Wochenende reservieren.

Bei letzterem Punkt bin ich am flexibelsten: (4. Im Idealfall sollte die Bar vom Bahnhof Frankfurter Allee aus betrachtet nicht am anderen Ende der Stadt sein. Zunächst stellte ich mir Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg oder Lichtenberg vor. Je länger ich aber gesucht habe, desto flexibler wurde mein Radius. Inzwischen lasse ich mich auf fast alles ein, was nicht in Spandau ist.)

Ich danke euch für jeden konstruktiven Vorschlag!

Hey Berlin,

I’ve posted a couple of months ago looking for Georgian people, preferably with kids to connect! I’m (37/M) myself Georgian based in Berlin & I’ve been living here for the past 31 years. My partner (German, 33/F) and I have a 10 month old daughter that I would love to hear / speak Georgian regularly. My Georgian is ok/I understand it well enough to hold a conversation and can read and write but after living in Germany for this long, I’m obviously not as proficient as someone who grew up in Georgia or speaks Georgian regularly. It has become even more evident whenever my daughter points at something and I’m sometimes missing Georgian vocabulary to say what it is!

We live in Pankow/close to Prenzlauer Berg & I would love to connect to fellow Georgians and of course also mixed couples with one Georgian parent. Obviously preferable if you also have a kids for play dates but if you don’t and want to connect regardless, that works too.

Bad Meme, better Event.

On the best Sunday of this Week, the Meet-up to be.

Fun and Games, Pankecakes and Coffee. Fill your Sunday with a Purpose.

U6 Leopold Platz is nearby so reachble from nearly anywhere in Berlin.

What’s the kinkiest club in Berlin? We (M/F) visited KitKat last night, maybe it was a non-kink event, but we were surprised how…well behaved everyone was, and are searching for something more.

I’m looking for an English speaking psychiatrist (not psychologist) in Berlin who is still taking new patients. I currently go to one in my home country but I can’t be there too regurarly. I contacted dozens of doctors but nobody is taking new patients 😔 Any leads also in DMs much appreciated.

Hi everybody im going to be in berlin soon with a working holiday visa and i wanted to know wich app do you recommend the most for working as a rider and if they give you a bike or not... also wanted to know best lesbian bars #<3

I’m on a boys trip and want a nice club to drink and have fun. We are not looking for a rave or crazy techno party. Not a place filled with crackheads, emos and homosexuals? Can anyone recommend any clubs in downtown?

Hi all. February 28th '25 will be my third visit to Berlin and I can't wait. A couple of friends and I are having a long weekend and we want to find some good late-night, larger scale clubs with good house music to enjoy on Friday and Saturday night, perhaps Sunday as well. I've done some Googling but I thought I'd ask the pros as well.

We're also trying to decide where to stay. I considered Alexanderplatz since it's quite central and gorgeous (stayed there with family for the Christmas markets last year) and there's plenty to do during the day, but we'd like to stay nearer to where some suggested clubs might be if Alexanderplatz is quite far from them.

Any suggestions and recommendations? Thanks!

Hey there folks I'm a 24yr Male looking for a date for the Dia de Los muertos (Mexican festival). There will be food, drinks and music. Any interested hit me up and let's have fun😆

I’ve got a nice 45m^2 apartment in Fhain which Im leaving to head back home for a while. I posted about it on ig but my network isn’t huge. It’s 1.3k warm and a pretty good deal I think (based on other prices I’ve seen). I’ve handed my notice to the landlord but that still keeps me here til end of Dec but I am leaving mid / end of Nov so I’m hoping to find someone to take over at short notice. Where’s best to advertise it?

Hey, I was wondering, how can someone apply for a Job at a Späti. Maybe someone in need of an employe sees this so please feel free to send me a PM. Thank you so much for Reading and I wish you a good time✌️
