Because of the infamous “Berliner Schnauze” – the reputation people from Berlin have for being gruff? A complete stranger gave me 10 euros and said I could simply return the money at the bakery the next day. I often go to see Berlin Philharmonie concerts – a world class orchestra with many young musicians. The infamous Berlin gene – the both hated and loved Berliner Schnauze – wouldn’t allow it. You know it, because I’ve already written it here: the Berliner Schnauze can be friendly too.
