Thank you all.
That there may not be statistics departments may explain the hospital charite .
I am particularly interested in whether there is a statistics department or statistics group at
the hospital, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin
there appears to be and institute of biometry and clinical epidemiology https://biometrie.charite.de/en/service_unit_biometry/free_consultation_service/
and the institute appears to be part of a network
https://biometrie.charite.de/en/network/
there is a roundtable and perhaps that's a seminar
https://biometrie.charite.de/en/service_unit_biometry/monday_biostatistics_roundtable/

Dear Chris
Berlin has three excellent universities: Techinsche Universität Berlin (known as TU), Humboldt Universität (HU) and Freie Universität (FU).
I don't have ties to these universities anymore, but I did find online that Humboldt Universität is offering this seminar on mathematical statistics each Wednesday at 10am:
Forschungsseminar Mathematische Statistik
| Institut für Mathematik | remove preview |
| | Forschungsseminar Mathematische Statistik | | Weierstrass-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und StochastikErhard-Schmidt-RaumMohrenstrasse 3910117 Berlin mittwochs, 10.00 - 12.00 Uhr 17. April 2024 Gil Kur (ETH Zurich) Connections between Minimum Norm Interpolation and Local Theory of Banach Spaces Abstract: We investigate the statistical performance of "minimum norm'' interpolators in non-linear regression under additive Gaussian noise. | | View this on Institut für Mathematik > |

Just to forestall any confusion: In Germany there typically are no dedicated statistics departments. Rather, you tend to find statistics as a research group within the respective mathematics departments.
Best wishes,
Stefan

Dear colleagues,
My question: I am in Berlin Germany, I might have time to attend a statistics seminar or otherwise meet other statisticians here in Berlin Berlin Germany. What University('s) in Berlin may offer a graduate or undergraduate statistics department or statistics degree. As interesting to me, what University's have a statistics seminar?
The background
After about a 19 hour flight from San Francisco, yesterday I arrived in Berlin Germany. I will be -temporarily- living in Berlin for the next 2 to 3 months. Due to the particular family responsibilities that led me to visit, I will not be doing any sightseeing outside of Berlin during my time in Berlin . (Under German Law My stay in Germany is limited to 3 months total per year). I will be doing some very limited tourist sightseeing. That limited tourism and about a 10 minute walk from my hotel. For those section members of a certain age, yesterday I visited Checkpoint Charlie - though I assume this is a reconstructed checkpoint for tourists https://flic.kr/p/2pMTaUf . I didn't (yet) buy a small piece of the Berlin Wall. Many of you will likely recognize a quote. I bought a postcard with a very famous quote by a former POTUS "Ich bin ein Berliner" https://flic.kr/p/2pMUkf4. This is my first time visiting Berlin. I will return to California at the and of my visit.
I also visited for few days about 2 weeks ago. I was (sort of ) amused after turning on the tv to find a dubbed version of Hogan's Heroes.
Last but not least, I know at most 10 words of German. I am currently on a crash course to learn German from the app Babbel. Tips on learning german -fast- appreciated
Thank you. Danke schön (2 of my 10 words of German)
