Stalin wanted to weaken Germany in revenge of what Germany did to it in ww2 .not only that but Stalin wanted to make his part particularly Berlin a communist country contradicting the West Germany which was democratic.
Stalin blockaded the western side of Berlin in an effort to force the United States, Great Britain and France to abandon those parts of West Berlin that they occupied after World War 2. He hoped that by preventing food and supplies from reaching West Berlin, he would starve the Allies out of the city.
Stalin controlled eastern Germany and the city of Berlin was like an island within that section. Stalin blockaded west Berlin by having fences built all the way around it. He then closed down all borders into West Berlin thereby isolating it from the rest of the surrounding eastern Germany. (The "Berlin Wall was not built until 1963 by Nikita Khrushchev.)
Stalin's hope of starving the Allies out of West Berlin were foiled by the Berlin Airlift, when the Allies flew supplies into West Berlin. Stalin relented and reopened all borders.
If you mean split Berlin, it was because the Western Allies took the other half of Germany and Berlin.
