Depends on the circumstances but "aligning" on the wrong runway can happen regardless of runway spacing, and in terms of losing control on landing with parallel operations ATC generally ensure there is some longitudinal ( fore/aft) separation.. so what would you consider as "right"? 200 metres, 500 metres? A mile?
I don't know Tegel but I certainly operate into the the sorts of airports flipperb and Hotel Tango describe and parallel operations with closely spaced runways is not at all unusual.
