I’ve not visited Berlin (though I have spent time in other parts of Germany). I would find it hard to imagine that a person would get in trouble with the law for crossing in the middle of a small street or other very normal behaviour. I’d make a distinction between “crossing at a red signal” and jaywalking (crossing where there is no signal). There are certainly places in Europe I’ve been where the former would be frowned upon, but nowhere where the latter is. New York is kinda the example of the weirdness I’m getting at. People do cross wherever they want to, but it’s illegal and people do get ticketed for it.
