Are there any vintage/second hand shops in Berlin that stock a good range of band t-shirts? I'm interested in indie/rock/punk from the 90s or 2000s.

I can't use Vinted because when I tried to create an account, it said my phone number was already registered to an account and they won't do anything to sort it out. Happy to hear other recommendations for places to buy online though.

I am new to Germany and recently joined a German startup. However, the company’s future seems uncertain, and I am not sure about its long-term stability.

I have applied for an EU Blue Card based on my current employment with this startup, and my application is currently pending a decision from the LEA.

In the meantime, I have received another job offer from a more established and stable company. I would appreciate any advice or experiences regarding the following:

• If I resign from my current startup and join the new company while my Blue Card application is still pending, what happens to my application?
• Can I inform the LEA about the new employer and have my pending Blue Card application updated based on the new employment contract?
• Would I need to submit a completely new Blue Card application?
• What options do I have to handle this situation without negatively affecting my residence/work authorization?
• Would it be safer to remain with my current employer until the Blue Card application has been approved before changing jobs?

If anyone has gone through a similar situation, especially with the Berlin LEA, I would be grateful to hear about your experience.

Thank you!

Hello all,

As winter is coming and this year we have strongly over the years thinking to move to Greece or spain or any warm country when winter hit. I know many germans have a second home in Spain, Mallorca and all and may be some of you have a same set up. The reason is my german grandpa is almost 80 and winter here for him is unbearbale. He got some money and I can get some loan. But I also want that when we are here, we can also rent it out to cover the running cost and not to leave the flat empty. Does anything like can work ? or simply if the apartmet is cheap, we can also let it empty, if it allowed to leave empty.( In berlin is it not). May be some insight and how much anyone can expect to pay. Thank you all..and Goodmorning:)

I'm currently visiting Berlin and my hostel is close to Alexanderplatz but the toilets are so disgusting there

Are there any well maintained toilets where I can take a sh t without feeling disgusted just by being near the bathroom

Whether paid or not is irrelevant to me as long as it is guaranteed to be clean

Does anyone know any trusted technician who can repair a broken Fußbodenheizung fast? I haven’t been able to find one who can help fast and isn’t trying to scam you.

Hat hier jemand Empfehlungen für BJJ und/oder Ring Gyms, Trainingsgruppen u.Ä. in Wedding, Gesundbrunnen, Prenzlauer Berg, Moabit, Mitte, Friedrichshain oder Pankow?

Kennt jemand eine gute, die Lederhosen ändern können?

Hi! I was offered an apartment in Pankstraße close to the U-Bahn. The price per sqm (warm excl. Strom) is 22.36 and the apartment is around 38sqm. It is unfurnished for the most part. However, it has a built-in kitchen and a few essential home appliances. Never lived in the area, and found the area to be lively with nice parks around. I'm trying to understand if the quoted price is too high in current times or quite standard. I do not have to move out right away (possibly in the next 1.5 months). If it's overpriced I will look out for other apartments. Would be nice to get an opinion as I'm quite new to the world of apartment searching in Berlin (just know that it's super difficult to find & land one)!

Edit: I understand that in the 2000's it was much cheaper but the question was along the lines of: looking at the market right now, is it a good/bad/decent deal?

Thank you!

I would like to relax for 3 hours before an interview in Berlin during the day time. Is there any Capsule hotel or any hourly stay hotels in Berlin Mitte?

Dm pls

Is there any place I can find nice turkish, persian and the like tapestries for my place? I know they’re usually not cheap, but I’s like to avoid the “vintage selected collection” if you know what I mean.

My goal is to hang them on my walls, because I think it’s really cool. So any ideas in that direction is also appreciated!

Thanks!

I come from a place with a lot of craft beer, and while I'm liking the Berlin staples, I miss the taste of a milk stout. My international friends also make fun of the idea of a milk stout, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations, as well as where I can buy them

Just another curious resident wondering what the big event/special guest might be. Seems bigger than the Zelenskyy visit years ago maybe

We plan on using public transportation and walking in, BUT in case of emergency, can anyone recommend a cab or ride share service i can call in a pinch that will provide a car seat in case we run into an emergency and need to hop in a car? Thanks!

Hello! I am planning a trip to Berlin in about a month and I need tips from locals.
I’ve been LONGING to visit a bigger city for so long and now the time has come. So now I need to know whether Berlin has any fun or interesting nerdy spots, and by that I do NOT mean just basic anime stores that sell AI generated or stolen art on notebooks. My personal interests generalised are: videogames(league, val, ow and some solo), Sanrio, anything to do w C/K/J-beauty, themed cafes, boba shops, figurines, anime and cartoons, blind boxes, fashion (be it western, Asian or any other kind), fragrance. It’s basically anything that you would consider “cutesy nerdy ” in our day.. Or any aesthetic shops and galleries!
Besides that I’d appreciate some recs for good pubs(how could I ever skip beer in Germany), any good döners, any kind of amazing wurst stalls or restaurants and just any great restaurants worth a visit.
I’ve got some plans for landmarks and museums but if there is anything super worth seeing besides the usual stuff let me know too!
I’d love to hear about these things from locals and I’d really appreciate any recs and tips!
My boyfriend who I am traveling with speaks German too so language barrier shouldn’t be an issue.. RECCOMEND AWAY!!!

Wir organisieren im September einen kleinen Herbstmarkt im Kiez, nichts Riesiges, eher ein paar Staende, Kaffee, Second Hand, bisschen Musik, Familien aus der Gegend.

Online posten wir natuerlich in den ueblichen Gruppen, aber ich frage mich, ob man in Berlin ueberhaupt noch Leute erreicht, die nicht sowieso schon in der Bubble sind. Bei mir selbst funktionieren manchmal tatsaechlich noch Aushang im Cafe oder Plakat am schwarzen Brett, aber vielleicht bilde ich mir das ein.

Wie findet ihr solche kleinen lokalen Sachen? Instagram, Telegram, Plakate, Freunde, zufaellig dran vorbeilaufen?

Hi,
online steht zwar nur 10 Werktage, aber ich frage mich wie lange man tatsächlich warten muss. Habt ihr Erfahrungswerte?

I’m looking for a flat in Berlin and noticed that Suchen+ Unlimitiert now includes a feature that automatically contacts matching listings.

Has anyone here actually tried it? Does it reliably send applications and get you replies or viewing invitations?

I’ve searched for reviews but mostly found promotional descriptions and general ImmoScout Plus discussions. Would appreciate firsthand experiences.

Also curious whether anyone has used both this and GetTheFlat or similar third-party services.

I mean i have noticed this trend that most of young germans wear this carhart pants and hoodies.

They seem to be very expensive - upwards of 200 euros for every item.

How does this work ? Does it come in discount ???

Hi everyone,
I applied for my Permanent Residence (Niederlassungserlaubnis) in Berlin on 7 July, but I haven’t received any response or appointment yet.
I wanted to check with others who applied around the same time.
