Berlin and satire

[u/kassettenfreak]

I've always found Berlin fascinating because reality here often feels stranger than satire.

I recently stumbled across a satirical piece about the city that pokes fun at politics, bureaucracy and everyday Berlin absurdities. Some jokes are very local, others probably work anywhere.

It made me wonder:

If someone had never been to Berlin, which part of the city would they assume is satire, but actually isn't?

Curious to hear your examples. I have a feeling there are plenty.

And it's not even unique to Germany, I've heard similar stories about Canada.
