Hi Nick, There is no PDP-11 at IN-Berlin, but there are two (an original and a soviet clone) in the lobby of FU Berlin's computer science building. Additionally there are some computer collectors in Berlin and the rest of Germany with PDP-11 setups in various states of (dis)repair.
If there is interest, I can connect you to people.
