The city of Berlin was in the middle of the Soviet zone. The Soviet zone is the part of German that ended up becoming Communist East Germany.

But then in the city of Berlin you had occupation as well except in the city they were called 'sectors'. And just like the Soviet zone, the Soviet sector of Berlin ended becoming East Germany (the capitol, in fact).

However the American, British and French sectors in the west part of the city stayed 'free' after the whole Berlin Blockade/Airlift debacle of 1948 and ended up a part of West Germany, although the capitol was moved to Bonn, and Berlin always had special legal and political status applied.
