West Berlin


 

West Berlin was the name given to the western part of Berlin between 1949 and 1990. It consisted of the American, British, and French occupation sectors that were established in 1945. The Soviet sector became East Berlin, part of East Germany. Officially West Berlin was called Berlin (West) by West Germany while the East German government referred to West Berlin as Westberlin. (East Berlin was officially called Berlin Hauptstadt der DDR - "Berlin capital of the GDR" - by East Germany.)
