Berlin is the capital city and one of the sixteen states of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is the heart of the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region, located in northeastern Germany. With a population of 3.4 million, Berlin is the country's largest city, and the second most populous city in the European Union.
Berlin is one of the most influential centers in European politics, culture and science.[1][2] The city serves as an important hub of continental transportation and is home to some of the most prominent universities, sport events, orchestras and museums.[3] Its economy is based on the service sector, encompassing a diverse range of media and life science corporations, convention venues, research institutes, and creative industries.[4][5][6]
The rapidly evolving metropolis enjoys an international reputation for its festivals, contemporary architecture, nightlife and avant-garde arts.[7] Being a major tourist center and home to people from over 180 nations,[8] Berlin is a focal point for individuals who are attracted by its liberal lifestyle, urban eclecticism and artistic freedom.[9][10][11]
First documented in the 13th century, Berlin became successively the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (from 1701), the German Empire (1871-1918), the Weimar Republic (1919-1932) and the Third Reich (1933-1945). After World War II, the city was divided. East Berlin became the capital of the GDR (East Germany), while West Berlin remained a West German enclave surrounded by the Berlin Wall from 1961-1989.[12] Following the reunification in 1990, the city regained its status as the capital of all Germany.
Berlin is located in eastern Germany, about 110 kilometers (65 miles) west
of the border with Poland. Berlin's landscape was shaped by ice sheets during
the last ice age. The city center lies along the river Spree in the Berlin-Warsaw
Urstromtal (ancient river valley), formed by water flowing from melting ice
sheets at the end of the last Ice Age. The Urstromtal lies between the low Barnim
plateau to the north, and the Teltow plateau to the south. In Spandau, Berlin's
westernmost borough, the Spree meets the river Havel, which flows from north
to south through western Berlin. The course of the Havel is more like a chain
of lakes, the largest being the Tegeler See and Großer Wannsee. A series
of lakes also feeds into the upper Spree, which flows through the Großer
Müggelsee in eastern Berlin.[16]

Substantial parts of present-day Berlin extend onto the low plateaus on both sides of the Spree Valley. Large parts of the boroughs Reinickendorf and Pankow lie on the Barnim plateau, while most of the boroughs Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, and Neukölln lie on the Teltow plateau. The borough of Spandau lies partly within the Berlin Urstromtal and partly on the Nauen Plain, which stretches to the west of Berlin. The highest elevations in Berlin are the Teufelsberg in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and the Müggelberge in the borough of Treptow-Köpenick. Both hills have an elevation of about 115 meters (377 feet). The Teufelsberg is in fact an artificial pile of rubble from the ruins of World War II.
Berlin has three commercial airports—Tegel International Airport (TXL), Tempelhof International Airport (THF), and Schönefeld International Airport (SXF) serving 155 destinations (07/2006)- 118 of them in Europe. Schönefeld lies just outside Berlin's south-eastern border in the state of Brandenburg, while the other two airports lie within the city. Tempelhof handles shorter distance and commuter flights, and there are plans to close the airport and transfer its traffic to Schönefeld airport. There are longer-term plans to close Tegel as well. Schönefeld is currently undergoing expansion. Berlin's airport authority aims to transfer all of Berlin's air traffic in 2011 to a greatly expanded airport at Schönefeld, to be renamed Berlin Brandenburg International Airport
