Also, given what I see being pulled out of the Spree on the regular, I think it might be full.

Fun fact: there are more illegally parked cars in the photo than there are scooters. Obviously I've redacted them because this is Germany and cars are very sensitive and private things that don't take criticism well and must be allowed to be able to park anywhere for free.
