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?

Response by poster: 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

Response by poster: 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"?

Best answer: 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.

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