I'm a (full stack javascript) contractor and have started getting a call a week asking if I would consider relocating to Berlin or Frankfurt.

Makes sense, I am Java/Scala guy, we have different audience

I'm am a Java/Scala dev in Berlin and get contacted by 2-3 recruiters a week for positions in Berlin or Germany. More often than not, they are from London based recruiting agencies. Big and medium sized companies:

* HERE (I work there, let me know if you want a referral)

* Amazon

* SAP

* Zalando

* SoundCloud

* Fyber

I probably forgot a few others and many smaller startups hiring Scala devs.

The tech landscape is different (not a lot of fin tech, no hedge funds, no algo and high frequency trading like in London) but the opportunities are plentiful.
