Berlin

Berlin is the capital of Germany, a city whose modern history has been shaped profoundly by its division during the Cold War and reunification in 1990.

Berlin became the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia and later the German Empire, growing into a major European cultural and industrial center by the late 19th century.

Following World War II, the city was divided between East and West, with the Berlin Wall constructed in 1961 physically separating communist East Berlin from democratic West Berlin until its fall in 1989.

Since German reunification in 1990, Berlin has become the capital of a unified Germany once again, known today for its history, arts scene, and remnants of the wall that once divided the city.
