There were local elections already in 1946. The return of power to democratically elected German politicians happened in stages. The creation of the Federal Republic of Germany (and the German Democratic Republic - the former East Germany) took place in 1949. The next major handover of power was in 1955, when for most purposes the Federal Republic became a sovereign state. (There were some 'loose ends' that weren't fully resolved till the peace treaty of 1990).

The Soviet Union (CCCP) controlled East Germany until November 3, 1990. At that time, it was integrated with West Germany under the rule of the Federal Republic of Germany in whole.

Why did Germany collapse in World War 1?
Germany did not collapse in the First World War. Germany asked for an armistice as soon as it was clear to a few key German leaders that they would lose the war. This happened before the German population and many in the military knew that they were losing. The swing from victory to defeat was relatively quick (July-November 1918). The German leaders prevented a collapse and damage to Germany itself by ending the war quickly. Unfortunately the German leaders never explained this information to the German people, which lead to the post-war myth spread by Adolf Hitler & others that Germany was not defeated but betrayed.
Did there used to be 2 Germany's?
Yes, East and West. After WWII, control of occupied Germany was divided between the allies. In 1949, Two halves of Germany each became independent separately. The Western portion of Germany, called the Federal Republic of Germany was backed by the Western Allies, while the Soviet Union backed East Germany, the German Democratic Republic. In 1989, when the communist government of the GDR lost backing from Soviet troops, their government fell and Germany reunified in 1990.
