Post Office in Berlin

I've never been to Berlin but I'm a bit of a dab hand at the internet. With the small amount of information provided by you and a magic wand called Google I may have found your answer. I googled "die post" and clicked on the Deutsche Post link. I use Chrome so it immediately offered to translate which I gratefully accepted, even though my German's pretty good. In the upper right corner of the page I found a search box, put in Prenzlauer Berg in and came up with http://standorte.deutschepost.de/Standortsuche?ort=Prenzlauer+Berg&standorttyp=filialen_verkaufspunkte which will give you the nearest 5 on a map, and you can expand it if you are a bit further away. I'd have been a bit more precise if I'd had the post code. Good luck.

Lisa, Have you asked the staff of the hotel there? I don't know Prenzlauer Berg that well but if you're willing to take the S/U-Bahn to Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse, a post office is located there. I've used that one. Possibily one is also at Berlin Ostbahnhof, but can't remember exactly. Near Bahnhof Zoo on Joachimsthalerstrasse is another post office. Postcards and letters up to 20 grammes cost 75 cents (reduced from one Euro) to the USA, you can use multilingual stamp machines to get the 75 cent stamps. I pay with coins.

Fred, Thank you so much! I am not staying at a hotel. I've rented an apartment. That's part of the problem (and the joy!); I'm a bit untethered at the moment. But I appreciate your listing of the post offices you know. I will head in that direction if I can't find something right in the neighborhood. Lisa

Dear Nigel, Thank you! I googled a similar map last night and set out today to the closest location, but spent an hour walking up and down the street trying various shops to see if they were the one indicated and if they sold stamps. I never found it. That's why I wrote for help. Your link has brought up a new selection of postal stations, though, so I'll try again tomorrow. I appreciate your help and your facility with the internet. Lisa

Hi, Since you're at Prenzlauer Berg, the nearest big station is Berlin Alexanderplatz. The souvenir shops there like those at Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse, Bahnhof Zoo, Hauptbahnhof (where postcards, magazines, newpapers, etc are sold) might sell stamps. Sometimes a sign at the cashier (Kasse) in German and English says that. If you don't see one, just ask.
