Australian to German power adapter in Berlin?? help!?

Question

Hello, I have recently moved to Germany (Berlin) and am having trouble locating some Australian to German power adapters for some electrical equipment I brought over. Does anyone know where I can find these?

Answer 1

Conrad Elektronik in Berlin should have them. They have three shops:

Hasenheide 14-15

Kleiststr. 30-31

Schloßstr. 34-36

The phone number is [phone]

on thinking it over:

As the voltage is the same in Europe and Australia and it sounds as if you'll stay here, why not have the plugs changed where possible? Shouldn't be too expensive.

one more edit (hours later):

I found the Conrad catalogue. The printed one. I knew I had it somewhere; so here's what you need:

The "Universal-Reiseadapter". They say it's also ideal for visitors to Germany. The item number is 48 17 80-88 (catalogue page 646) and it goes for 20.50 euros. Ask for it at a Conrad store.

Answer 2

Conrad is indeed the best place to turn to; you can check out their website first - the stock in their stores differs somwhat from the stock in their online-store. [www.conrad.de]

Also, check out if the following products fit your needs:

http://www.amazon.de/Reiseadapter-Reises...

http://www.amazon.de/Welt-Reisestecker-D...

there seem to be others as well, but these two specifically mention Australia; hope they are SAFE as well......

Alternatively: put up notes on notice boards at the universities, or in some of the bigger student accommodation places they might have; or check out some places you assume you might find the odd Australian exchange student [i. e. Irish Pubs, etc.  :-)  ].

Student who are going home soon might be keen to sell their adapters.

Answer 3

Should have bought some before you moved buddy, helps to think stuff through as I see Australian to European power adapters at any local electronics store here...

My guess is just go to any big electronics department store:

I used to live in Munich for 2 years and from what I remember German electronic stores are fortresses of technology compared to Australian ones over here...
