FreeCycle equivalents in Berlin?

Inspired by this FPP, I joined Berlin's FreeCycle group - but it looks like it gets offers posted about once a week. Any Berlin/Germany-residing MeFites know about a more happening group doing the same thing?

There's always the Umsonstladen!

Hmmmm. Looks like that website hasn't been updated for two years, and even at that time the building had been sold to a private investor. So maybe there isn't always the Umsonstladen? A good start though!!

Its round the corner from where I work, was open as of last week - they're still fighting off the Räumung I think

Ah ok, great! Is this the place with banner hanging from the window that says something like "enjoy your condo flats, we are happy with out rats"?

Craigslist has a Berlin site, and there's a "free stuff" listing. At least around here, I find using CL for free stuff a lot less bureaucratic than Freecycle.

toytowngermany.com? They have a free section that seems to function in kind of the same way.
