Berlin.
*After World War II, Germany was partitioned and occupied. The areas occupied by the US, the UK, and France were combined in 1948 to form West Germany. The area occupied by the Soviet Union became East Germany. West Germany's capital was established in Bonn, while East Germany's capital was Berlin. The Western half of the city became the enclave known as West Berlin, which was considered part of neither Germany. East and West Germany were reunified in 1990, and by 1999 Berlin was again the seat of government.

ReneThe name Federal Republic of Germany originally applied to "West Germany" but is now the name for all of reunified Germany. From its founding in 1949 until reunification in 1990, the capital of West Germany was Bonn. It continued as the seat of government until early 1999.
After reunification the federal parliament voted to move the capital back to Berlin which is considered a separate "state" within the republic.
Bonn.
Following the beginning of the Cold War, the city of Bonn in North Rhine-Westfalia from 1949 to 1990 was the de facto capital of West Germany and remained the seat of government in a united Germany from 1990 until 1999.
While not officially part of the West Germany republic, Berlin remained the official capital of West Germany during the 1949 to 1999 range.
There no longer is an "East Germany", so it does not have a capital. When East Germany did exist, the capital was Berlin. East and West Germany were re-united and now Berlin is the capital of the unified country.
