Making Berlin a little easier to live in.

I really like how those yes-no lists are turning out. They make the information much easier to read at a glance.
I'm adding "yes-lists" and "no-lists". It makes the guides a little easier to skim.

1,000 responses! 🎉 We never had this much data about the Berlin immigration office before.

To celebrate, I redesigned my LEA wait times page. It's less cluttered, and combined citizenship and residence permit data.

Do you know any interesting places in those areas?

I updated my public holidays guide. I automatically calculate the dates and highlight those that fall on weekends.

I also clarified how public holidays work for part-time workers. After all, this year's focus is "labour and tenant rights".

I'm finishing up the February edition of the All About Berlin newsletter. If you subscribe now, you will get it in your inbox on Sunday morning.

Why don't German apartments have apartment numbers? I must always explain to newcomers that "if your name is not on your mailbox, you won't get your mail". This is a problem when you are living with a friend or in an unauthorized sublet.

There were no examples of an Abmeldebescheinigung on the internet until now. It's easier to say "you need this document" with a picture.

When I started making websites, I was told that you have 5 seconds to confirm
to the visitor that they are on the right page. Maybe documents should be the same. "You got this document when you deregistered your address. Keep it in your records. You might need it to confirm that you have left the country."

This would be my second task as Minister of Details.

I'm finishing up a guide about leaving Germany. There are so many little details that are easy to forget. My to-do list will help.

As soon as this is done, I will focus on a new guide: "How to lower your rent" (without paying Conny's insane fees).

A calculator is worth a thousand words. I made this tool to explain why joining the Künstlersozialkasse is worth it. It replaces a vague table with explanations.
