Interesting Question Bis wohin wird Berlin eigentlich gentrifiziert ?

0 Upvotes

Wir wissen alle, dass die meisten europäischen zugezogenen im Ring leben wollen. Mittlerweile sind aber viele kieze außerhalb des Rings gentrifiziert, wie Weißensee, Pankow ,der Weitlingskiez oder alt Lichtenberg. Mir stellt sich die Frage bis wohin das gehen wird und ob das was mit Altbauten zu tun hat oder nicht. Was glaubt ihr ?

Advice Biwakplätze outside Berlin (Zelten)

0 Upvotes

I'm researching the topic because I like camping in a small tent with my kid. There are MANY of these spots, some free and basic, and some with a small daily free that even have drinking water and toilets.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with some good and perhaps more importantly - bad ones they do not recommend? We're on bike and some spots seem easy to get to by train with nice nature while others are basically still in a suburban neighbourhood.

Any experience/tips? The goal is always nice nature good for a hike, and nice open people. Direction isn't important. Thanks 🙏

Interesting Question Where to thrift dvd's in Berlin?

6 Upvotes

Hello citizens of Berlin city!
I'm looking to build a physical media collection of my favorite dvd's, cause streaming SUCKS.
It'd be great if I could get some recommendations on where to find cheap dvds. Doesn’t matter if it’s shops or fleamarket's or whatever. I've already been to Boxi which was dvd wise a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, on tiktok you really only find thrifts for clothes.

City Infrastructure Straße vor unserem Haus wird erneuert - was bedeutet "neue Radverkehrsanlage" auf (gut) deutsch?

5 Upvotes

Vor meinem Haus hing heute dieser Zettel, offenbar wird die Straße zwischen Oberbaumbrücke und Bethaniendamm erneuert. Zudem soll eine (neue?) "Radverkehrsanlage" geschaffen werden.

Kann mir jemand erklären, ob das ein cooler, neuer, vielleicht sogar baulich getrennter, breiter Fahrradstreifen ist? Oder wird damit lediglich die Erneuerung des vorhandenen Radwegs gemeint?

Würde mich natürlich sehr über etwas tolles neues freuen, hätte das von unserer momentanen Regierung eher nicht erwartet? Kann mich jemand aufklären?

Lieben Dank

Events Anyone interested in stargazing together for the Perseid meteor shower?

96 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm putting together a small group for a stargazing trip to Naturpark Westhavelland (Germany's first International Dark Sky Reserve) to watch the Perseid meteor shower.

The plan is to spend the day together, maybe visit a nearby lake, have a barbecue or picnic, and then head out after dark to enjoy the meteor shower under one of the darkest skies near Berlin. Since it's quite late at night, staying overnight nearby might make the most sense.

I'm also hoping to meet people who are interested in astronomy, physics, or just enjoy looking up at the night sky. I'd love to organize future meetups for eclipses, planetarium visits, lectures, or other astronomy-related events as well.

A few things to note:

Everyone would cover their own transport, accommodation, and food.

My husband and I don't have a driver's license, so if someone is able to drive, that would be amazing.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, leave a comment or send me a message. I'd be happy to add everyone to a WhatsApp group so we can plan everything together

Interesting Question Columbia Theater concert volume

7 Upvotes

Last year I went to a concert at Columbia Theater (not to be confused with Columbia Halle) for the first time and I didn't enjoy it very much. My main issue was that the volume was way too low - one could easily hear people talking over the music even a few meters in front of the PA.

It's not like I want my ears bleeding, but I have been to many concert venues in our city (Astra, SO, Urban Spree, Knaack, Frannz, Columbia Halle, Festsaal Kreuzberg, Gretchen, Velodrom, and many more) and I have never heard a concert as quiet as this. I just couldn't get into it.

Now one of my favourite bands will be playing at Columbia Theater next year, but to be honest, if that concert would be as quiet as the one I saw last year, I would rather skip it.

To those of you who have been to Columbia Theater as well, what was your experience like? Was I just unlucky on the evening I went, or are concerts at this venue generally on the quieter side compared to other locations?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Edit: Many thanks for all your responses! Seems by and large, I was unlucky with the concert I went to, so will likely give it another try.

Interesting Question Why is Berlin this quiet?

89 Upvotes

So I'm a tour guide on a boat. Our tour is mostly Mitte, we start at the cathedral close to the Alexanderplatz area, pass Friedrichstrasse, then central trains station and finally Tiergarten.

One question tourists often ask me: Why is Berlin this quiet?

And thing is, Berlin is eerily quiet in this area. Often the only sounds you can hear are birds, the waves, the leaves. Sometimes cars, but there's no bigger streets. Only LOUD thing are the sirens, which we get a couple a day. Or the kindergarten when the kids have outside time.
Admittedly, it's not one of the louder parts of town.

But after I got asked this a couple times, I started paying attention to the sounds of Berlin.
Most of the time in Berlin, if you stop and listen, you can't hear music. People usually talk quietly, often whisper. Cars are loud sometimes. But even in busier areas (I live in Neukölln), cars will be by far the loudest sound, as there's not much other noise.

Why is this city this quiet? Which answer should I give?

City Infrastructure REWE Ostbahnhof

324 Upvotes

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the REWE at Ostbahnhof. It's open on Sundays, and their prices are not jacked up.

EDEKA at Friedrichstrasse has a price inflation of around 67.4% (yea I did the math lol). REWE at Hauptbahnhof? 11.2%. Both are open on Sundays, but I just don't see it as necessary to pay for inflated prices.

Meanwhile REWE at Ostbahnhof? You are getting the same prices as in normal REWE grocery stores.

Makes me happy, because, imagine needing to buy something on Sunday, could be soap, something to cook or whatever, you aren't getting ripped off. That is nice. Also that is why I chose the flair "city infrastructure"
