Note

Hans Georg Lindner was fondly known as "Hako".

Hans had this nick name allocated due to his younger sister in childhood (1930's) not being able to pronounce his name correctly, instead saying 'Hako' and the name stuck since then.

It appears from the address book that the 3rd floor had two residences on it. Georg Lindner and family in one residence and another in the other residence. Possibly one residence facing Barnimstrasse and the other residence facing the street around the corner.
