You're right, it's already like this by default. But the path is like so:
/home/user/.config/kde.org/Marble Desktop Globe.conf (without MyDocs)

Setting Marble to offline mode should be a better workaround btw to avoid tile updates.
Yes, I thought of that, I think it didn't take until I restarted the app. Might have been confusion, so cannot confirm this definitely. :P

I'll try. I am a bit confused about all the paths though. Why do linux apps usually have 2, 3 or 4 paths in ~ for storage? It's not because of the different types of RAM, because it's like this on desktop, too.

~/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/ has no openstreetmap.dgml but has osmarender.dgml
~/MyDocs/.maps/ has OpenStreetMap I folder but no .dgml


I guess that the root of the problem was an Internet connection where you get some login screen.
That's a good candidate for a possibility. Most of these open hotspots have this loginscreen. Dunno why, people don't like to be nagged. :P

For the search problem, can you check whether there's a .sqlite file for Berlin somewhere in /home/user/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/placemarks/?
~/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/placemarks $ ls -lah europe/
drwxrwxrwx 2 user root 64.0k May 25 10:49 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 user root 64.0k May 22 01:52 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 223.9M May 25 10:49 germany.sqlite
-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 3.1M May 25 12:28 netherlands.sqlite
-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 5.5k May 25 12:28 netherlands.sqlite-journal

Have a nice three weeks out!
