Since 1990, East and West Berlin have been unified as Berlin, the capital of Germany. In 1989, the Berlin Wall, which separated East and West Berlin fell. On 3 October 1990, German reunification was concluded, therefore the two Berlins unified as well.
Although East Germany was already sealed off from West Germany, Berlin had an "open" border. In 1961, East Germany closed the border and built the Wall dividing West Berlin from East Berlin. The area of East Berlin was the Sovjet zone, while West Berlin was compounded of the French, British and U.S. zones. The Eastern Bloc, under the control of the USSR, fell in 1989, as did the infamous Wall". The next year, Germany celebrated Reunification (Oct. 3, 1990)
