This is definitely an outlier and not the norm. Look at Glassdoor and LinkedIn.
Maybe Zalando offers more but few would want to work there.

Just from the top of my head, you could probably earn well at: Zalando, HERE, Mozilla, EyeEm, Blacklane, MongoDB, Zeitgold, Talon.one, Infarm (just raised a juicy funding round) + a boatload of blockchain startups
On top of that, a lot of the bigger SV startups have satellite offices in Berlin.

> EyeEm
Yep, personally know them. But they're in Köln last I remember.
Many of the companies you mentioned (not gonna named not to get sued) have reportedly terrible working culture and/or awful recruitment process (applied to most of them). So maybe the money is compensating.

> terrible working culture
Might be true for some of them, but for the ones on the list where I know people that work there, it sounded pretty good. In the end good working culture is one of many axis to optimize on.
If you are looking at more "modern" tech companies in Berlin or well-funded startups it's definitely possible. The last 3 job offers I had were in the 90-100k range, for a "senior" position (~6 years of experience) in Berlin.
