In face of the threat of a climate catastrophe and the resulting urgent need for decarbonization together with the widespread emergence of the sharing economy, shared pooled mobility has been suggested as an alternative to private vehicle use. However, until now all of its real-life implementations have served a niche market, adjacent to taxi services. To better understand this discrepancy, as well as the potential of pooled mobility, we have here simulated and analyzed pooled mobility on the street network of Berlin with car trip data as input for ride requests. We measure the rate of sharable trips, the relative travel time of passengers, the average occupancy of the vehicles, the relatively driven distance compared to driving with a private vehicle. We observe that for requests in the city center of Berlin it is possible to serve all mobility requests currently done by car, with around 4700 vehicles. The travel time is around 1.34 higher than with a private vehicle, the vehicle's occupancy increases to 2.6. The driven distance is reduced by 65%. In the whole area of Berlin we observe that a ride-pooling system with 10000 vehicles can serve 60% of the trips. The travel time is 1.4 times higher than with a private vehicle, the occupancy gets three and the driven distance is reduced by 40%.
