A friend of mine in Berlin attends Zoom meetings for knitting. The lady in charge is Gabriele Kluge. I found the website https://www.strickrausch.com/ . Of course, you may not be looking for something in German or online, but this is what I know about. If you want a German group in Berlin, I could ask my friend if she knows about any groups.

Thank you for the suggestion but I was looking for something in-person. If you/your friend know of anything like this please let me know.
Thx.

Check out https://www.meetup.com

There seem to be quite a few knitting events in and around Berlin.

Maybe you can advertise in your neighborhood or ask a few friends or acquaintances to help you put the word out about wanting to start an in-person group. Or ask at a local knitting shop in Berlin, of which there are many. I’m in such a group here in Konstanz and really enjoy improving my knitting skills along with my German, as well as getting to know the other women more intimately. A friend invited me to come and check it out about a year ago. I really enjoy it and wish you luck in your endeavor.

There's an Aktion going on this year in which my local wool shop is taking part, 'Bis März 2027 sollen 36.000 Paar handgestrickte Socken für Obdachlose gesammelt werden.' So knitting socks for the homeless. My shop is hosting a monthly knitting circle.

Go look at the knitting/wool shops and they'll probably have a poster up if they are involved in the kind of project, and if they have a meet-up.

Just checked the project website:

https://www.sockenweltrekord.com/sammelstellen/

That's where the socks are being collected together, so you stand a good chance of one of those being a place that's encouraging people to get together and knit :)

My friend in Berlin didn't have any particular group to recommend, but she said to check Facebook. She knows there are definitely knitting groups in Steglitz and Lankwitz.
