Two routes for you:
1) If you are going in March then you have time to set-up a HSBC or Citibank bank accounts if they are near your area. If you are using their ATMs in HK, you will not be charge a transaction fee and will get a very good exchange rate. Make sure you inform these banks you are travelling to HK.
An HSBC account has an even larger ATM network as you can used the HK Hang Seng Bank ATMs network besides the HSBC ones in HK as these 2 banks are part of same group. Every MTR station has Hang Seng ATMs for easy access to your funds.
Also there is a HSBC branch in Mongkok that has ATMs that can also dispense RMB and Euros besides HKD. I am sure there are others, you will have to ask the bank.
2) If you cannot open a HSBC or Citibank account at home, then you can come to HK with your local currency and go to a local forex place that offers great rates. When I lived in HK, I got all my forex for travelling anywhere from this place.
Check their website link for a list of daily forex rates. They are opened everyday except Sunday. You can check their Yelp page for business hours. They are only a 10 min walk from the Central Airport Express Station after you get off train from airport.

Berlin's rates are very good, generally much less than 0.5% off interbank rate |
