Bonn was the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990 and the capital of reunified Germany until 1999.
After World War II, Germany was divided into occupation zones and the Russian zone (including Berlin) became East Germany. Berlin was reestablished as the national capital after the collapse of the USSR led to Germany's reunification.
Historically, Berlin was the capital of the Prussia for centuries. When Prussia led the unification of Germany, it was natural that the Prussian capital would become the capital of the newly unified country. After World War II, East Berlin remained the capital of East Germany, but it became unwieldy as a capital for West Germany because of its being an enclave in East German territory. However, when Germany reunified in 1989, Berlin was reinstated as the capital of a united Germany as a nod to the historical nature of the city.
In 1968, Germany was split into two countries; the city of Berlin was split correspondingly. Each country had its own capital. These were:The German Democratic Republic, also known as East Germany. Their capital was East Berlin.The Federal Republic of Germany, also known as West Germany. Their capital was Bonn.In 1989-1990, East Germany collapsed and merged with West Germany. East and West Berlin were also reunited, and Berlin eventually became the capital of the reunited Germany (which is still formally called the Federal Republic of Germany).
The Berlin Wall separated the city of Berlin in Germany from 1961 to 1989. Many people thought it was a symbol of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was taken down on November 9, 1989.

The city of East Berlin only existed from 1946-1989. At all other times it was united with West Berlin as one unified city of Berlin. However, during the aforementioned period, it was the capital of East Germany, also called the German Democratic Republic (in German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik).
Germany was divided into West Germany and East Germany (1949-1990) by the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall split the capital of Berlin and separated the democrats (West Germany) from the communists (East Germany). It was built by the Soviets, who occupied East Germany, to prevent East Germans from migrating to West Germany and further into Western Europe.
This was, of course, Germany. Berlin is the capital of German. The Berlin Wall was erected in August 1861. The official reason for its construction was to prevent the influence of the "fascists" from the West entering East Germany and undermining the socialist fabric of the state. In reality, the wall was there to stop mass defections to the West. The Wall was broken down in November 1989.
