Was the population of East Germany larger than the population of West Germany?
No, the western part of Germany was larger than the part of East Germany.
Is Germany west Germany and east Germany the same?
Yes. Germany more or less finally became a single unified country in 1871. In 1945, after Germany lost World War II, it was split into four parts, each part controlled by military forces from one of the four major countries that won the war (USA, UK, USSR and France). Berlin, the capital city, was split in the same manner. In 1949, three of those (the USA, UK and France parts) joined to become the "Federal Republic of Germany", or West Germany. The fourth part (the one controlled by the USSR) became the "Democratic German Republic" or East Germany. West Germany was a republic, like the USA and France. East Germany was a communist dictatorship controlled by the USSR. Again, Berlin was split in the same manner, which caused problems for West Berlin, because Berlin was right in the middle of East Germany. East Berlin became the capital city of East Germany; the city of Bonn became the capital of West Germany. In 1990, East Germany's dictatorship finally ended and it became a part of West Germany, and West Germany dropped the "West" part and is just Germany now. It is still officially called the Federal Republic of Germany, and Berlin, which is also reunified, is the capital of all Germany again.

What was the name of the wall that once separated East and West Germany?
There wasn't actually a wall between East Germany and West Germany. The border was a series of fences and other fortifications. It was normally referred to as the 'inner German border' or the 'Iron Curtain'. The Berlin wall was between West Berlin and East Berlin. Note 'East Germany' and West Germany' were names used by the English-language media. The proper names of the two countries was 'Deutsche Demokratische Republik' (DDR = German Democratic Republic) and 'Bundesrepublik Deutschland' (=BRD, Federal Republic of Germany). East Berlin was part of the DDR. West Berlin was not part of the BRD, it was a separate entity.
Why is the Berlin Wall considered a symbol of the cold war And why do you think it represented something different to East-Berliners and West-Berliners What do you think it meant to them?
The Berlin wall that separated West Germany form East Germany symbolized the Iron Curtain, as Churchill described, that was created between the communists in East Europe and those opposing communism in West Europe. To both Germans in the East and the West the wall represented the sovereignty over their country. To the West-Berliners the Berlin Wall symbolized the Soviet's obsessive need for control and for the East-Berliners it was a barrier they could no longer cross to work in the higher-paying and better living-standers west.Answer 2The Berlin wall did not separate West Germany from East Germany, it separated West Berlin from East Germany. West Berlin was never part of 'West Germany', it was a separate entity under military control of the USA, UK and France.'West Germany' and 'East Germany' were names used by the English-language media. The correct names of the two countries were 'Bundesrepublic Deutschland' (BRD or Federal Republic of Germany) and 'Deutsche Demokratische Republik' (DDR or German Democratic Republic).The border between the BRD and the DDR was further west and was part of the Iron curtain.
