Are there any guarded parking lots anywhere in or near Berlin, Germany?
Are there any guarded parking lots in or around the city of Berlin in Germany?
By guarded parking I do NOT mean "guarded" by an automated gate or camera - that is a joke. I mean a real guarded parking lot with a real human guard on the spot 24h/day, AND the parking takes full liability for the vehicles against theft of and from the vehicles.
There are some parking lots near airports that market themselves as guarded, but when you read the terms and conditions, they write they are only liable for potential theft and damage by their own employees, but are not liable for anything done by a third party, which amused me how can someone offer such useless fake-guarded parking.
There are plenty of really guarded parking lots with human guards 24h/day on the spot in Poland, in every polish city, and I am surprised by a complete absence of such of such parking lots in Germany. Maybe there are hidden somewhere, because I can hardly believe there are none. And don't tell me they are not needed, because car thefts in Germany are on higher level then in Poland: 1.9 per 1000 vehicles per year in Germany, while only 0.9 per 1000 vehicles per year in Poland (data for years 2008-2010).

Best Answer
Have a look at Autohotel. They have parking spaces near the Tegel and Schönefeld airports.
An alternative would be to subscribe an insurance against theft or a comprehensive insurance for the duration of your absence, and leave the car in an unguarded parking. I would consider this option and calculate the price for it.

Answer 2
I don't know any guarded parking lots according to your definition in Germany. But I really don't know anybody here in Germany, whose car was ever stolen in a park garage.
Of course car theft exists in Germany, but it doesn't seem to be such a big issue that anybody would provide guarded parking lots. And every car in Germany is insured against car theft.
