If you mean “constantly” in the sense of “every day” the yes, it’s not constantly. It’s however, constant enough to be reminded constantly - multiple times every year in Berlin alone. Last one I can recall was Feb 24th this year in Spandau. In 1994 one exploded when it was excavated https://www.gettyimages.de/detail/nachrichtenfoto/explosion-einer-fliegerbombe-aus-dem-2-weltkrieg-in-nachrichtenfoto/548111923 https://www.gettyimages.de/detail/nachrichtenfoto/explosion-...
In 2019 a major shipping channel in the region was closed for at least 2 month https://m.maz-online.de/Lokales/Oberhavel/Oranienburg/Oranienburg-Nach-Bombenfund-Kanal-wochenlang-gesperrt https://m.maz-online.de/Lokales/Oberhavel/Oranienburg/Oranie...
It’s so common here that it’s not big news unless the bomb is exceptionally large.
