East Berlin
Wikipedia
East Berlin existed between 1949 and 1990 and consisted of the Soviet sector of Berlin established in 1945. The American, British, and French sectors became West Berlin, strongly associated with West Germany, while East Berlin was the de facto capital of East Germany. From 13 August 1961 until 9 November 1989, East Berlin was separated from West Berlin by the Berlin Wall.
In East German official usage, it became widespread in the 1970s to refer to the Western part of the city as "Westberlin", whilst calling the Eastern part simply "Berlin". (See also Naming conventions).
East Berlin was the name given to the eastern part of Berlin between 1949 and 1990, when it was the de facto capital of East Germany. It may also refer to:
- East Berlin, Connecticut
- East Berlin, Pennsylvania
- East Berlin, Nova Scotia
- East Berlin Formation, a Mesozoic, fossil-bearing geologic formation in Connecticut
