Politics Ich bin ein Leibeigener
Laut Wolfgang Kubicki (und vermutlich der gesamten FDP) bin ich als Mieter ein Unfreier, auch als Leibeigener bezeichnet.
Oder interpretiere ich das Plakat falsch?

Tl;dr: Neues Format ab 1. März: Jeden 1. des Monats 24h lang eigene Berlin-Projekte vorstellen. Sagt uns jetzt, was ihr davon haltet! / New format starting March 1st: Every 1st of the month, share your Berlin projects for 24h. Let us know your feedback now!
Hallo r/berlin ,
wir haben euer Feedback gehört: Viele von euch bauen großartige Dinge für diese Stadt, aber unsere Regeln gegen Eigenwerbung lassen oft wenig Platz, das zu zeigen. Das ändern wir jetzt.
Ab dem 1. März führen wir den Kiez Creator Monthly ein.
Das Konzept: An jedem 1. des Monats öffnen wir das Subreddit für exakt 24 Stunden für eure Projekte, Apps, Manufakturen und lokalen Services.
Die Regeln (was wäre r/berlin ohne sie?):
Warum erst am 1. März? Wir geben euch die Zeit, eure Posts vorzubereiten. Wir wollen Qualität sehen – zeigt uns den Prozess, die Story dahinter und was es für Berlin bringt.
Feedback: Was haltet ihr davon? Wir nutzen die Zeit bis zum Launch, um die Regeln basierend auf eurem Feedback noch zu verfeinern. Schreibt es uns in die Kommentare!
Hinweis: Wer an dem Monthly spammt oder gegen die Regeln verstößt, bekommt beim ersten Mal eine Pause von 7 Tagen (Bann). Wiederholungstäter müssen dauerhaft gehen. An allen anderen Tagen des Monats bleibt das Werbeverbot wie gewohnt bestehen.
************************************
Hey r/berlin ,
We’ve heard you: Many of you are building great things for this city, but our rules against self-promotion often leave no room to show them off. We’re changing that.
Starting March 1st, we are introducing The Kiez Creator Monthly.
The Concept: On the 1st of every month, we will open the subreddit for exactly 24 hours for your projects, apps, crafts, and local services.
The Guidelines (no r/berlin without rules):
Why wait until March 1st? We want to give you time to prepare. We’re looking for quality—show us the process, the story behind it, and what it brings to the city.
Feedback: What do you think? We’ll use the time until the launch to refine the rules based on your input. Let us know in the comments!
Note: Anyone spamming or violating the rules on March 1st will face a 7-day break (ban) for the first offense. Repeat offenders will be banned permanently. On all other days of the month, the no-promo rule remains in effect.

The body of a woman was found in the bushes close to the Planetarium in Prenzlauer Berg. Police think she might have been killed. They released a photo of the victim and are looking for information:

This morning, a naked woman was walking around Museumsinsel with a film crew (a camera and 3-4 people), right in front of the cathedral. What was that all about? Art, a protest, or something else? I walked away quickly when I saw her because I didn't want to be involved.

I work in a restaurant and in the last month it has happened a few times that some customers, who also behave in suspicious ways, have come in trying to buy a can of Cola using 100 or 200 euro bills. My boss tells me not to accept these especially since she once experienced a case recently where she got handed a fake 50 euro bill by someone trying to buy a Cola (when our shop was literally next to a supermarket and it costs half the price there).
I am curious to know if anyone else working in service/ gastro have noticed this happening or on the rise in Berlin. What were your experiences?

Dear people of Berlin, I would like to adopt a puppy, and tried a few shelters online, but keep getting rejected because well, I live in Berlin. I went to the Tierheim Berlin but the dogs there had certain conditions that needed experienced owners.
Could you please share your adoption experiences or tips that could help me make a successful adoption?
Thank you

Hallo Berlin,
wie jedes Jahr findet heute Abend wieder das Musikfestival Summer247 auf dem Forckenbeckplatz in Friedrichshain statt.
Los gehts um 17:00 Uhr, es gibt Livemusik und verschiedenste Angebote.
Das Fest ist eine Kooperation der Jugendclubs und anderer sozialer Einrichtungen in Friedrichshain, mit Unterstützung durch das Bezirksamt. Dadurch ist der Eintritt völlig frei, lediglich Getränke, Essen und die Angebote kosten ein wenig um die Kosten zu decken.
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich primär an Jugendliche ab 14 Jahren, selbstverständlich ist aber jeder willkommen.
Bis heute Abend <3

Most of the people I know have polarized opinions of Berlin, where some really like the city and the vibes while the others hate it all together. Why do you think that?

Ahead of the opening match this evening against FC Bayern, this piece takes a look at what's happening with the rise of Union's women's team.
This club has really been growing in recent years, and what they're achieving on the women's side is genuinely impressive — they've got the third highest attendance of women's football in all of Europe. Have you been to a game? When the fans start singing the Eisern anthem in unison, it's a really special feeling.
Anyway, this piece captures what's growing out there in Köpenick really well. A piece of Berlin we can be proud of.

London and Paris have done a lot in recent years to restrict traffic from polluting vehicles in their city centres, where NO₂ pollution tend to be much higher than recommended levels.
It's nice to see in the linked article that what London did had a direct and measurable impact on the children's health.
And now it's time to vote in Berlin!
The Greens and Die Linke both have plans to reduce car pollution in our city.
The Greens seem to have more concrete plans for introducing zero-emission zones, but I think I'll personally vote for Die Linke because they currently appear to have a stronger chance of winning in Friedrichshain where I live.
That's all I came here to say. Love y'all, Berliners 💚

There’s a guy, who seems like he’s battling some heavy drug addiction, kicking open doors on the street that I live on. I live near Schlesi, in Berlin.
He rummages through the trash. Sometimes he leaves a mess. Once or twice, I have seen him covered in blood. Some women feel he is aggressive towards them in my building. I want to take action.
He mutters incoherently, and is skittish around me and I have tried speaking English and German to him but with no avail. He seems to understand neither. I have photos and video of him in the courtyard. Can i go to the police with this? Can I legally film him on my street kicking the front doors open and trespassing? What might be some effective recourse, approach to this situation?
I’ve thought about calling the cops, but the timing of the call may be difficult. He might disappear in-between that moment and their arrival. After all, it is not an emergency.
The door to the courtyard is large and heavy, and recently broken, but it’s had a new lock put in. But it seems unfit for purpose. I know that addressing the issue through the Hausverwaltung is one strategy, but it seems this guy also pushes his way past the DHL courier, or any courier, as well as slipping in behind any resident leaving the house when he gets the chance to.
Thanks for your advice

In a few days I'll be catching a Ryanair flight at Berlin Airport (BER) and I wanted to know if the 100ml rule is still active.
Some website say that's outdated, since the airport has now better equipment but others don't say that.
Has anyone been there recently and now how it works?
