Berlin, Germany

The Berlin graticule is at latitude 52, longitude 13.

It completely encloses Berlin and most of Potsdam. It extends as far as Zehdenick and Joachimsthal to the north, Luckenwalde to the south, Storkow and Falkenberg to the east and Potsdam to the west. It also contains a part of the Spreewald and some nice lakes, and a lot of arable land, particularly in Brandenburg.

Geohashing has a long and great history in this graticule. During the first years of Geohashing a lot of amazing expeditions (2008: 25; 2009: 50; 2010: 28) and a number of smaller and bigger meetups took place. Between 2011 and 2018 37 sucessful and 8 unsucessful (but still meritous) expeditions were done within eight years. Finally there was no geohash at all visited in the Berlin graticule in 2018 9 and 2020. But this was not the end of geohashing in Berlin. Thanks to new enthusiasts there were 13 expeditions done during the years 2021-2023 and already four in January and February 2024. Revitalizing the Berlin Geohashing scene seems to be a real opportunity now.

The facebook group which once existed does not seem to exist any more. At the moment the best option for local and visiting geohashers seems to be to contact recently active geohashers directely. As soon as other networks will be set up it will be announced here.

According to Public transport probability, using OpenStreetMap data, there is a 27.58% chance of the hash landing within 2km of a train station, or 47.45% chance of it landing within 2km of a train or bus stop.Increasing the search to a 5km radius, there's a 68.63% chance of it landing within 5km of a train station, or 81.61% chance of it landing within 5km of a train or bus stop. Basically, this means that when being out there, you should go and map those thousands of missing bus stops.
