Happy new year! Thank you for keeping up with the newsletter. I’m not a part of the 20% and never have been, but I always enjoy reading it.
Regarding the abandoned mattresses: have you tried reporting it using the Ordnungsamt app? They usually remove things within a few days. Added bonus is that you’re becoming part of the statistic that drives digitalisation in Berlin.
I second this suggestion! I've used the Ordnungsamt app to successfully report big trash on the street in my neighborhood. It's pretty easy. You can attach a photo and a pin on a map, and they forward your report to BSR. BSR then might take a while to clean it up, but they will eventually.
I didn't know there was such an app. Thanks for the hint! Will try to get them to remove some old bikes in front of my house that block available spaces to lock my bike.
Imagine the infrastructure improvements the city of Berlin could make if it wasn't having to waste so much money on police, fire, rescue, and sanitation workers every New Year's Eve. We humans are such short-sighted, selfish idiots.
