- About Berlin
Berlin is located in Northeastern Germany, on the Rivers Spree and Havel and surrounded by the German Federal state of Brandenburg. Founded in 1237, Berlin was the capital of Brandenburg and since 1701 capital of the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1871 Berlin became capital of the German Empire and since then strongly connected with the nation's history. Today, Berlin is the capital of the now reunited Federal Republic of Germany, and due to a resolution ("Hauptstadtbeschluss") passed in 1991, seat of most of the executive and legistlative branch of the German government.
