German here who has been living outside of Germany for 10+ years. I made the unfortunate decision to come back to Germany and had to Berlin for a while, which I quickly regretted.
Berlin is basically a dumping ground for third world trash and locals are low IQ welfare cases with unfortunate genetics. German newcomers are either deluded left wing extremists or have rich parents and are looking to party it up for some time while studying or pursuing some pipedream.
Just leaving Schönefeld Airport already gives you a good impression of the city itself. Taxi drivers waiting at the airport are all hardcore salafist islamist guys as you can see by their clothing, virtually no Germans around, sketchy gypsies entering at every other train stop looking if they can jack something from you and finally you pass the Sonnenallee station which is basically Afghanistan light, where people from random muslim countries enter the train that are about to stab each other.
Hang on to your phone in Neukoln, and anywhere else on the U8 line. Don't stand near the door of the train texting etc, because the third world scum will female genitalia it just before the door closes and run. I know of two who were tripped and caught by other passengers, but I'm sure many get away with it. Stay Calm And Clutch Your Phone.

"Germany is absolutely the worst place I seen in my whole life! Insane high taxes, very arrogant people, hate foreiners, a lot of hidden criminality (check VW scandal - not a single person was arrested), bad weather, poor medicine, very depressive mentality, etc etc... even north korea is a better place"
"I've been living here for the last year and now I can say without hesitation that I would get the hell outta here as soon as I can. Germany is one the worst places in the world, and I've been in quite a few.
Funny thing is, I really liked Germany before coming here. Now, they can close the damned frontier because I will never step back in."
"Germans are the most disgusting racist people on earth. The security guards do routine checks and of course only people of colour are stopped. such filthy racists disgusting security guards."
""Krauts are the lowest of the low. Absolute scum."
It's ok though hon, cuz in 10 years there will be no more Germans, so don't fret. Massive invasions by Middle Easterners have taken place and will continue to take place and additionally there will be the biggest exchange of people from BLACK AFRICA since the slave trade which is coming next year. We are already trying to figuring out what to name this new country in central Europe.
I wish they would ban people from cultures that don't fit. I'm appalled by all the Africans openly selling drugs in street corners, making the police look like idiots. The only thing the Turkish have brought with them is Doners. But of course with Zero Population Growth, they need more cheap labour to swell the workforce and keep wages down.

Berlin is #1 for some reason but most of the comments say it shouldn't be #1 and it's ugly. The next 2, Hamburg and Munich, have only positive comments.
"I been living and will say the people are still racist ( I am a black woman) but there in more denial about than Americans. The hate the US and everyday I experience bashing of my sex, race, other races, and country at lunch. When I told my boss that it was wrong to bash mine or other races and basically anything foreign and it created an unhealthy work environment; I was told that no else had complained before and that is part of German culture."
So much truth there. But Germans are so triggered someone filed a report with google to remove the auto-complete algorithm with you type "why are germans..." or "why do germans...". Try it out for for yourself.
third world scum especially muslims and african thugs are not welcomed.They are a big problem in making central europe feel like a dirty loud ghetto. They have no respect for women and white men. They all secretly hate us.
It's not racist. It's irreconcilable cultural difference. They don't belong in civilised countries with an advanced economy. They are like rats.
"third world scum especially muslims and african thugs are not welcomed.They are a big problem in making central europe feel like a dirty loud ghetto."
Dude, you sound like a godam kraut-ass nazi. After all it was the kkkrauts who kept talking the same junk about Jews 90 years ago to justify gassing them a few years later. It was kkkrauts who compared Jews to rats, etc. And to be honest even the third-world scum are more german than the krauts because they pick up on german values the moment they land in Tegel airport. It's not the godam third world scum, it's kkkraut motherf.u.ckers like you (who should have been vaporized in '45 in the first f.u.cking place, monkey-faced ugly-ass motherf-u-c-king pieces of aryan sh.t).
You get upset because you are coming from a third world country.
What happened to the jews was a crime. They lived in central europe for many generations before Hitler was even born, and were a big influence on the progress of europe particularly in science.
I have nothing against friendly and educated africans and muslims. I am against african drug sellers, muslim gangs and radical extremists who kill people in the name of their beliefs.
You should visit migrant areas and see how much they litter and harass women. Visit sketchy areas like kottbusser tor in the evening and see that the muslim gangs and africans are predominately responsible for the crimes.
You are the radical one in here. You insult me because I triggered you by stating facts.
this post insulted white europeans. There will be no black islamic europe. Africans and muslims will more likely kill one another over minor differences in their beliefs than take over europe. Look at the middle east and africa. You people can't even manage to live at peace and prosperity in your own countries. Keep your sectarian violence and middle age beliefs out of europe.
Hey genius, I'm not from Europe, I'm from the US. I live in Berlin largely to get away from alt-right scum like you who insist upon hijacking every godam message board out there with your weird politico-sexual fantasies about Trump und KKKompanie (mistakes intended). Of course, the refugees are messed-up in their own ways, but they don't run Berlin; they don't run the European Union. You completely forgot (as usual) that this is a message board to vent against BERLIN and not against ISLAM or BLACK AFRICA. And the way that you keep on frothing at the godamn mouth about Black Islamic Europe lets me know that you really are just another European (possibly a butt-hurt Spaniard still upset about the f.ucking Moorish Occupation of centuries ago) on the far-right, possibly unemployed and on hartz-4, possibly living in mommy's basement or possibly a washed-up alkie or junkie or some shit. In any case, shove it. What is happening now with these crazy refugees is your problem, not ours. You mismanaged your own socio-political affairs for decades and now that you see the fruits of your lack of labor, you neo-Nazi scum whine like little bitches. And YES, you are just another fascist bonesucking Berlin schmuck.
More scummy Berlin leftists beating people up for having a different opinion.

God I'm tired of hearing the word fascist in berlin- you'd think Germans of all people would know what it is, and avoid using it as a catchall phrase for anyone suggesting any kind of law or order!
Blind leftists are wetting themselves when they see signs of resistance against their "tolerant" lifestyles.

Wonder how many personal friends these thugs have who weren't born in Germany.
Top quality Berlinhater posts at the moment.Keep on flinging poop at the pile of stinking turds known as "Summer" Berlin.
Psychotic bicyclists who think that the saintly act of using a bicycle means they don't have to pay any kind of attention to traffic laws. Fahring super schnell on the sidewalk through throngs of tourists missing them by an inch, zig zagging through the wrong way bikeline, through every red light, on a cell phone, drunk off your ass, all super cool and encouraged!!
They feel entitled to ride their bikes anywhere but the streets and the designated bike lanes. The tourists do it, too - they copy what they see. This place is a freaking free for all with little law enforcement. It is not a city - just a dump for solipsistic losers.
Some offended German has gone through months of posts here to complain, in typical German fashion, about every legitimate issue raised. Maybe we should be more sensitive to Germans who are incapable of processing criticism. We all know how Germans who feel bullied lash out at the world...
Note this odiously bad english.

WTF is wrong with this city?
"At an order of up to 20 buns you have to pay 0,10 EUR for each bun.
At an order of 20 buns and more you have to pay 0,13 EUR for each bun.
Maybe some sort of equality ideals, to give enough brotchen for alle. Or bad arithmetic
The people which once were humans and lost their souls to this city.You can feel it,they just hate you,because you are around, and dont recognize,they hate themselves.I hope i get out alive from this monstrum city,which propagates liberty...i feel more connection to myself and mother earth rural parts of the world.Or is this freaking poop here really important?
Just depressing
Oh yes.I have become a misantroph in this city.The sky is full of stars and all i can see is beton,people behave like beton!
Gay male here. Born in a very conservative part of the southern USA. Was openly gay throughout most of my teenage years and never once had any dangerous encounter. The worst thing that ever happened to me was someone called me a f-ggot. Moved to Berlin because I thought it was a tolerant city. Boy was I wrong. If you are visible gay you will be verbally abused every single time you leave your apartment, and you will be happy if it is only verbal. Been in several dangerous situations in this city. Looking forward to moving back home soon. All Berlin experiments are failed experiments. I don't know who does the marketing for this city but they are doing a good job in painting a nice place to live.
Can confirm. Even though Berghain is arguably the most famous gay club in the world, the whole area surrounding it is filled with drunken gay hating tourists who threaten me on the regular and sometimes even people in the waiting line hate gay people and don't know the main clientele.
Hell even half of the staff doesn't like me because I'm not a manly bear type but rather feminine.
Berlin is weird like that.
For 5 years I have lived in what is know as the 'gayest apartment building in Berlin'... near the Motzstrasse. Since then, I have not gotten to know any of the other gay men in the building - none of them says 'hello' or 'good morning'. In the beginning, I made an effort to be neighborly but have since given up because I only got ugly depressed scowls in return. Funny, in NYC 6 months after moving into my apartment there, I was on a first name basis with a lot of my neighbors and they were sad to see me leave when I did.
I received the hardest depression of my life living here. It's absolutely devastating. freaking loneliness, everyone against everyone, coldness, ze ordnung, unbelievably ugly german "girls". I strongly didn't want to go to psychiatrist and to do antidepressants and benzodiazepines, but this place leaved me no choice. It's DOOMED.
I fully understand you:)We only live once and we are caged in this horrible city.
same here, I have never felt loneliness such a heavy way , and got depressed to stay in a long Winter.
peopledo not care about you , even I go to the same cafe everyday , Germans they don't show interests to me,
if I have to list up how sucks berlin , I could list up non stop.
I just left the city , even decided to break up my lovely boyfriend, ( of course not a German)
I thinks whatever you do , this city deceive you , the best way is getting out of the horrible city, and Germany.
Used to walk to work everyday because I lived close to the office. Encountered guys publicly urinating literally every day in the summer. Counted over the course of a week, ended up at 25 during a 30-minute walk each day. This city has a problem.
Called an elevator the other day at an sbahn station on the ring. Doors open, and one guy sitting on the floor was melting heroine. USA made a huge mistake. Should have dropped nuclear bombs in here. I hope some nuclear explosion happens here and wipes out everything.
Cool enough??This humans are products of this cold city.
What innovation has any Berlin start-up ever brought us? YouTube without moving pictures (Soundcloud), Another YouTube without moving pictures (DubSmash), restaurant delivery (foodora), online recipes (Kitchen Stories), Aliexpress based in Germany (Lesara), Cliffs notes for periodicals so there is no way to scale it (Blinkist).
Amazing city full of real revolutionaries! What a bustling start-up scene. After Brexit I am sure all of the tech giants and start-ups will flock here by the millions.
One of our company's wholly owned subsidiaries, small start-up, opened in Berlin in 2013. Had to relocate last year due to the fact that the workers in Berlin were, on average, had 245% higher absenteeism and required twice as much training as in offices elsewhere. The problem is not just the infrastructure, it is the entire city and its populace.
Not enough VC money plus harder to find decent and affordable housing. Even though cost of living is higher in major US tech cities, salaries are 2-3 times higher for the same work. Also, most of the negatives associated with US startups are still true in Berlin. High risk. Some don't want to pay anything. Long hours. Founders may just be rich bros who want the employees to slave away so they can party it up in Berlin and get laid every night.
I'll tell you a secret, all the startups just have operational offices in Berlin, but there is no way to feasibly get startup investments for a German company due to unfriendly tax laws.
The startup ecosystem in Europe is generally a joke and Berlin is no exception.
