Halfway is a time, not a distance
The instinct for meeting between Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg is to find the spot in the geographic middle of Berlin. But equal distance is rarely equal effort: transit lines run some ways and not others, and the point that looks central on a map can add time for one side.
Comparing the two journeys instead lands on AMON Restaurant - Cucina italiana, about 18 minutes from Kreuzberg and 22 minutes from Prenzlauer Berg by public transport. Kreuzberg is a little closer, so the fair point sits slightly toward Prenzlauer Berg to keep the two journeys within about 4 minutes of each other.
It is a real, rated venue rather than a pin on a line - somewhere you can actually meet in Berlin. If your starting points are specific addresses rather than the neighbourhood centres used here, or more than two people are coming and arriving different ways, plan it with your own inputs and the fair spot updates to match.
