West Berlin was democratic, controlled by West Germany. East Berlin was Communist, controlled by the Soviets and East Germany. Just to be confusing..... East Germany was called the GDR, the German Democratic Republic. It was that in name, it was not that in actual fact !

∙ 14y agoWest Berlin was occupied by allied troups of the United States, the United Kingdom and France in 1945. East Berlin was occupied by troups of the Soviet Union. West Germany regarded West Berlin as a part of the Federal Republic of Germany for Greater Berlin was mentioned in the Basic Law, the West German constitution. But the Allied (U.S., UK and France) claimed sovereignity over all of Berlin.

So the status of West Berlin remained uncertain until 1990. Nowadays most Germans agree that life in West Berlin was better than in East Berlin.
