Berlin: Pharmacies in Germany/Berlin?

I find it easiest to pull up Google Maps on my smartphone and type in "nearest pharmacy" in the search box.
But even without technology, you can find a health & beauty type store or Aldis type store on every other corner in any shopping district in any city.

There is a great variety of pharmacies, some are general, some are naturopathic, etc. Lots of them.

The German for a pharmacy is an "Apotheke", and the Germans also use the green cross.

Do not confuse with a "Drogerie", which in German refers to a shop that sells cosmetics, toiletries, and basic medications, but is not allowed to sell more powerful medications or fill prescriptions.

Thank you all.
I see they will have the big bright green cross.

the german symbol is usually a large red A, often with a snake on it (long story.....)

A drogerie doesn't even sell basic medications unless you count throat lozenges and vitamins and other "natural" cures are medicine.

To get anything from an aspirin to sudafed you'll need an apoteke, but every neighborhood has at least one. And there are several that are open 24 hours (or they rotate being open 24 hours) so you can always get medicine in case of an emergency.

Germans don't really use the green cross that much. The general icon and logo for all pharmacies is a capital red A in old German font (for Apotheke). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Deutsche_Apotheke_Logo.svg

Hi,

Where are you staying in Berlin? As to the frequency of pharmacies, there are literally lots of them in the Savignyplatz area, if you happen to stay there, ie on Goethestraße/Knesebeckstraße, Carmerstraße, Grolmannstraße, at least 5 all withing walking distance of each other. There is also a 24 hour Apotheke at Berlin Hbf.
