First, around 10 to 12 each morning...leaving the hotel....I noticed non-German kids walking the streets....obviously NOT in school.
Two or three here.....a couple of times each morning.
They aren't worried about skipping school, or missing classes.
Second, if I compared police-saturation in Berlin....to Mainz, Wiesbaden or Frankfurt.....there's probably five times the number of police on duty in Berlin.
I'm not saying there's a lot of crime....just a lot of police to suggest you are 'safe'.
Third, we stayed in two different hotels during the week. The first was a loft-apartment situation....living room/kitchen on ground unit, and bedroom/bath up a stairway on the upper floor. It was a odd stairway....with steps that were about 5 cm (1.96 inches) higher than your normal step.
By the 2nd day at this hotel....my knee was in some pain from the extra 'rise' of each step.
I asked my wife....she noted the same issue.
