I ordered a stamp catalog from a dealer in the Ruhr, and I mentioned that surface would be okay, as I would be in Europe for most of Aug for the WC. He emailed me back this caveat:
"If you intended to use the S-Bahn in Berlin during your stay, please note that 2/3rd of it's trains are currently out of order. The management ignored the inspection intervalls and the local government forbid use of trains with overdue inspections."
I have no idea if this is really the case, but if so, it might present a problem. We will dump off the rental car on 14 Aug, so will be dependent upon public transportation. I'll poke around on the internet and see if I can dig anything out. If someone has alreay brought this up, sorry.
