When my spouse and I moved to our new home in the suburbs of Austin, TX many years ago, our next door neighbor showed up at our door to introduce themselves and give us cookies.

Fast forward to last year, when we moved into a new apartment here in Köpenick. On the very first day, our landlord called to chastise me about leaving boxes stacked up next to the recycle bin. (Something I knew nothing about because it had been done by the IKEA kitchen installers. )Then my middle-aged neighbor dragged me over to the bins to give me a lesson on how to properly sort my trash.

"Sigh... welcome to Deutschland", I thought.

On the topic of illegal parking, please suggest that people report it to authorities, like the Ordnungsamt or using weg.li. Many times the cars are also putting pedestrians and cyclists in danger
