Berlin is the capital city of
Germany and one of the 16 states of Germany. With a population of 3.4 million people, Berlin is Germany's largest city and is the second most populous city proper and the seventh most populous urban area in the
European Union. Located in north-eastern Germany on the
River Spree, it is the centre of the
Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has about 4½ million residents from over
180 nations. Due to its location in the
European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate.
Around one third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers and lakes.
First documented in the
13th century, Berlin became the capital of the
Kingdom of Prussia (1701--1918), the
German Empire (1871--1918), the
Weimar Republic (1919--33) and the
Third Reich (1933--45). Berlin in the
1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After
World War II, the city, along with the
German state, was divided - into
East Berlin — capital of the
German Democratic Republic, colloquially identified in
English as
East Germany — and
West Berlin, a political exclave (surrounded by the Berlin Wall from
1961 to
1989) and a de facto (although not de jure) state of the
Federal Republic of Germany, known colloquially in English as
West Germany from 1949 to
1990.
Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany.
Berlin is a world city of culture, politics, media, and science, hosting
147 foreign embassies. Its economy is primarily based on high-tech industries and the service sector, encompassing a diverse range of creative industries, research facilities, media corporations, and convention venues. Berlin also serves as a continental hub for air and rail transport and is a popular tourist destination. Significant industries include IT, pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, electronics, traffic engineering, and renewable energy.
