Well, kind of.
During the Cold War Berlin was an occupied city--there were foreign military forces there and they formed the official government of Berlin. (The reality in West Berlin was a little different: while the US Commander Berlin, British Commander Berlin and French Commander Berlin were the governor of the city on a rotating basis, all power had been handed over to the Lord Mayor of Berlin.)
West Berlin was occupied by the United States, the British and the French. France held the northern districts--in some ways the most important because West Berlin's airport was the French Air Force base of Tegel; Britain held the middle sectors; and the United States held the southern sectors. The Soviets held all of the eastern sectors.

Why did Khrushchev decide to construct a wall to separate East Berlin from West Berlin?
After Wolrd War II, the Allied Forces broke Germany into occupation zones. Different countries would govern and denazify different zones while Germany remained one country. Russia had the eastern part of Germany which contained Berlin. Stalin controlled East Berlin, but West Berlin was divided between France, Britain and America. Stalin didn't want democratic influence in the middle of one of his communist puppet states. When his attempts to force the Western armies to leave failed, he surrounded West Berlin with a wall.
