How do I abmeldung if I ditched my flat? Don’t I need some retarted permission to leave from the landlord? Some dumb permission to let me leave the country lol? Or should I just keep the anmeldung open? I don’t get what to do. Cancelled all my contracts...
Or do I j go straight to the burgeramt? Let me know . Haha. I remember when I was so excited to anmeldung. Dumb challenge and biggest mistake of life. If you’re reading this - do NOT anmeldung! Just visit for a summer as a tourist, then you’ll get the full experience ! Except not the crappy winters and lifetime of xenophobia and poverty. Enjoy!
I don't think you need any permission from your landlord, you just go to the Bürgeramt and unregister - Abmeldung.
Then maybe do the same with your consulate depending on the agreement you have within your country - for example I registered with the local consulate here.
If you don't do it, yes, I've heard they fine you.
They fine you even if you fart in the wrong place in this country :- D

If I was in my early 20s and worked a serving or bar job I’d think Berlin was a paradise. Unless I was a complete idiot and knew any bartenders or servers in UK Or USA who make 300-1000% more tips in one shift in one night
Lol bartenders in Berlin really make 40/12 hour shift or WOW, I’ve been told 70!!! Amazing!!!! This place is stupid
They’re obsessed with sex and drugs because they just want to feel something. They just don’t know how to go about doing it in other ways
Over my time In Berlin, there were several things in retrospect that made me uncomfortable and were warning signs. It wasn’t until about a year in i pieces them together and realized I was stuck. Now I am out. I have to say what stuck out the most was, I’m a very visual person. The home decor made me want to throw up. Even if you are poor, you can have some kind of taste. Some art on the wall. Colours that match. Organization. No. Every home I went in, was a disaster. The strange duvet/top sheet 2 in 1. The weird shade of green that is not neon but not pastel that seems to be on everything you wouldn’t usually put it on, like chairs and blankets. I only saw a few decent homes, these people had some money. Everything else was bare bones
Walk around the city at night when it's dark and all the lights are on in apartments and count the apartments with no curtains and bare lightbulbs. How many people have said "fuck it" and left the plain, ugly Raufasertapete up because they know that they hope they'll be gone in another 12 months anyway.
I always thought berliners apartments sometimes felt like they were about to bounce at any moment. Now I know why.
And no. Germans don’t close the window or blinds if they have them when having sex or changing even if there is another person changing across, Ive seen it across and I’ve seen it in flats. Exhibitionists
Idk what you mean about steel wires.
The hallways are always hideously painted as well. Terrible shades of brown and red mixed together or some weird green. I’ve seen some nice entryways but let’s be real, the place had its glory days and is now falling apart
Why do they stare
This question comes up often on r/Berlin and the locals ALWAYS either claim it's not common here or that they stare because "they're curious". You motherbitch krauts - if you were curious about anything you'd actually speak to people. Is staring how these savages pair off? Just thousand yard stares and a motioning to the groinal region accompanied by a grunt? This country is so gosh darn backwards.
I know so many expats who have been in Berlin a decade, don’t own much, live in a WG and can’t speak german. At first I thought that was acceptable, until I realized I already had learned basic German before I moved and thought about what I was doing in 2010. What have they done the past ten years ? Partied ? I swear there is something about Berlin, that makes time pass in a different way than the rest of the world. I get so much more done in two months here than in a year there and I don’t know if it’s from the constant hassle or poverty or what. However I did take German classes once I arrived and I did get my poop together. I’m so surprised people wasted a decade in a party hole. It’s really shocking.
Ever notice how these hippie parents let their children walk in downtown Berlin with no shoes on?
Sehr bio. I am one wiz ze earthz
Guys, concentrate on the positive side. Which is that Berlin is a big test. You’re putting your mental health, taste, tolerance, and patience to the test. Also, being alone. The best circumstances to do all that are here, in Berlin. Because they’re absolutely horrible
Why do gays get special treatment? Is it because they place their penises inside other 'men's' sewage outlets. Oh dear.
Because supposedly they were discriminated against once a hundred years ago so we all have to feel sorry for them and pretend they can all do no harm from now until eternity despite the fact that they outearn normal (heterosexual) people everywhere in the western world. But mostly because they all love to play the victim game and they actually believe they are being persecuted - probably the effect of severe AIDS and the accompanying cognitive decline. The bright side is that they live on average 20 years shorter than normal (heterosexual) people so less time to deal with them.
I don't hate gay people but the guy is right about AIDS. The only people who have it are homosexuals and junkies and it definitely does cause cognitive decline. None of those statements are in any way controversial and can all be backed up with multiple meta-analyses.
Probably the same guy writing the responses. If you don’t like gay people don’t live in Berlin. Clearly you don’t know any. The same guy just said gay men earn more than straight men, then goes on to say they have alleged “cognitive decline”
You’re living in Europe’s gay Las Vegas idiot. Why don’t you move to Saudi Arabia or some shit, every city’s culture and arts comes from gays deal with it
Maybe you should get checked for AIDS because I said that AIDS causes cognitive decline - not that being gay does. And yeah, straight people in Berlin are also gross and brazen with their sexuality but weird I habe never once caught a straight couple effing in public. I could see gays freaking in my local park every single day when the weather is above 15C. Can't imagine the kind of brainwashing one must've endured to refuse to accept reality like you are doing. Also Berlin isn't even the gay capital of Germany - Cologne is. Quit being such a faggot.
Berlin is sh1t, but it’s unfair to say all germans are weird, problematic, miserable, jealous etc. I find that Germans who have spent time abroad and/or have a university degree (not ausbildung or anything other than a university degree) are generally more bearable. Again, germans who have FINISHED that degree. These are the ones worth communicating with. I know it’s harsh, but it’s so true here. The rest are close minded asf
Oh you’re German and your name is anni how original
Supernatural experiences in Berlin? Besides that darkness that you experience throughout the city, sometimes id walk past something specific and really feel it. I’ve seen a ghost the night I moved out of my flat, where I had lived 1.5 years. and I also had a sublet where I slept with the lights on for two months. I had very dark thoughts there that seemed strange for me to think. I also felt someone was watching. But that was just for 2 months in that place. Thoughts on this?
