Zeuthen was technically in the DDR but it's also a satellite city of Berlin, so I'd expect more English proficiency. Even if you go to the most provincial shit kicker town in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland every homeless alcoholic or heroin addict is at least bilingual but my experience in Germany was that outside tourist traps you'd be lucky to get a couple of sentences out of anyone.
