I moved to Berlin with my cofounder three months ago and could not be happier. Berlin is more about the early-stage startup but there are a few at the bigger/exit stage as well. This city is hungry for Rails developers so you should not have too much of a problem finding work, whether freelance or for a team. Berlin is cheap to live in, costs are about half of what they are in London from what I understand. The city is very much alive in a lot of ways, and the start-up community is tight knit but accepting and diverse. I speak English with only rudimentary German and have yet to run into any serious problems in the startup scene, or even basics like renting a flat. If you are visiting within the next couple of months let me know, I might be able to introduce you to some teams who are hiring and give you an overview in general.
