Unfortunately, doesn't look like it. From the Deutsche Bahn planner, there are no trains at present showing after the game, unless you want to leave at 11.30pm, change 3 times and arrive at 5am.... (Usually it's direct and just over an hour.) No idea if they are likely to put on a special train (would seem sensible as there must be a lot travelling from Berlin), but for now staying over is probably the only option.

I don't personally but think some of the guys on this thread follow one or other of the Berlin clubs. Might be worth asking @foratzo17 if you were trying to get a ticket for the Union game?

Best of luck!City fans in Germany: If you're looking for a MCFC Supporters' Club here (or, like me, wondering why there isn't one already), please join our new Official Branch :) Or share with your German pals...
Link to join is below, we are based in Berlin (although to date the only branch in the whole of Germany, so would welcome fans from any region). And, of course, if you are in Berlin and want to join our get-togethers to watch the next game in the pub, drop me or @foratzo17 a message to know when and where.

You'd be welcome We found a blue from Puerto Rico in the bar on Tuesday night (don't think he's on here though) - seems like it's becoming a hot spot here...!

Only just got round to watching this & a top video to share. Aside from the Hertha Berlin & Union Berlin 'rivalry' there was a short, but comprehensive summary of both Berlin & Germany's notorious history.
In my opinion seems like the infamous wall inadvertently ended up serving as some sort of social experiment. i.e. the government decides to build a divide between a population of people largely from the same background, race & religion. Some 28yrs later the wall comes down with the same people now distrusting & anxious of each other which according to this football video still exists to some extent today. Of course all these preconceptions were heightened by the government propaganda set at the time.
Didn't fully appreciate the city as much as I should have went I visited a number of yrs ago mainly down to it being a stag-do trip. Quite surprisingly the raw history is still very much present within the city, with old watch towers & crumbling sections of the wall dotted around.
Also fully agree with the contributors of the video, Berliners know how to party. Us lot were leaving the bars & clubs at around 3am & all the locals were just about to stream in!
