You may have a hard time passing through customs with that. That is a red flag that you plan to overstay your 90 welcome as a tourist. Are you a dual citizen or the child of a natural born German? Good luck - Berlin is, in my opinion, the best city in the world. I once did what you are doing. I brought 10 thousand dollars and lasted 6 months. I never found a real job with sponsorship.
