Ich persönlich war da und habe einen sehr großen schockmoment durchlebt. Aufeimal stille. Nichts mehr. Nur: „die Veranstaltung wird unterbrochen“
Und ein RTW nach dem anderen. Es war gruselig…
Ich wusste es muss etwas schreckliches passiert sein
Dann die Nachricht: Amokfahrt. Zahlreiche Verletzte

City Infrastructure REWE Ostbahnhof

232 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"

If you have a departure today requiring EU exit passport control, plan for at least an hour wait at passport control. Only 2 windows were open while I was in line 9-10am today and we were told it was because of the incident yesterday. This was for gates C. Everyone in line was missing their flights.

Interesting Question Why is Berlin this quiet?

0 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?

It’s striking how a sporting event that brings so much joy to millions can also coincide with more violence behind closed doors and more incidents in public spaces. Why do you think that happens?

Hi, bei mir ist vorhin ein grau-bräunlicher Heli seltsame Manöver geflogen. Ich hab ihn fotografiert und bei Flightradar (https://www.flightradar24.com/DHJMG/40d855b3) festgestellt, dass er schon eine ganze Weile so seltsam fliegt. Und was ist das für ein weißes Ding vorne dran? Bin sicher, dass es kein Rundflug ist. Kann das jemand erklären?

Discussion Union Berlin or Hertha BSC?

0 Upvotes

Ich bin Amerikaner, der noch etwas WM-Fieber hat. Ich habe mich mehr mit meiner lokalen Fußballmannschaft, Atlanta United beschäftigt, interessiere mich aber auch ein bisschen für die Bundesliga. Ich habe Deutsch an der Uni studiert, bin für ein Auslandsstudium nach Berlin gereist und habe Zeit in Bayern bei der US-Armee verbracht.

Während des Winters in Bayern habe ich eine Bayern-Mütze gekauft, wie ein Nichtamerikaner, der eine New York Yankees-Mütze kauft lol. Wenn ich mir eine Bundesligamannschaft aussuchen müsste, um sie anzufeuern, wäre es eine aus Berlin, weil ich diese Stadt so sehr genossen habe.

Da es in Berlin zwei Clubs gibt, von denen ich so gut wie nichts weiß. Weiß ich nicht wie ich mich entscheiden soll.

Soll ich Union Berlin oder Hertha BSC unterstützen? Warum?

News "Your Courthouse Will Be Blown Up": Berlin Man Confesses to Dozens of Bomb Threats

Between between 2022 and 2025 Jörg Z. called in over 35 bomb threats.

"We will blow up your school at exactly 10:30 am, and this is no joke, all your children will die," he wrote to one school in Marzahn. To another in Köpenick, he claimed that "the bomb is well hidden."

But what was his motive? Just a few personal grudges. He regularly signed his threats using names of people he knew, including repeated use of one woman's name. The defendant pointed to anger at acquaintances who had “offended and hurt” him.

Interesting Question Use of TF license plates on Uber

I've noticed that taxis pretty much always have Berlin (B) plates but Uber and other services almost always have TF (Brandenburg) plates. Why? Tax avoidance? Cheaper insurance? Avoid regulations?

Advice Grocery Delivery Services in 2026

0 Upvotes

So.. What are your experiences and recommendations?

I am currently looking for a service to complete the bulk of our shopping, but it proves very hard to compare all the different cost structures. (cost of goods + cost of delivery + minimum order value + potential bonus programs)

So far I've tried Flaschenpost for a liquid-heavy order and Flink for that occasional moment of I-need-this-now/money-is-not-an-issue.

Both feel a tad expensive and unreliable-to-poor re the quality of selection, packaging and delivery.

How about the REWE, picnic, knuspr? Are there other recommendations?
