# Berlin (City State)

Berlin is the capital of Germany and at the same time a city state, covering around 892 km² with about 3.66 million inhabitants (2022 census).

## Overview

Berlin is the federal capital and a city state entirely surrounded by Brandenburg. About 3.66 million inhabitants (2022 census) live on around 892 km² – Berlin is also Germany's largest city. Its ISO-3166-2 code is DE-BE. After reunification in 1990, Berlin received the full status of a federal state.

## Administrative divisions

As a city state, Berlin is city and state at once; there are no rural districts. Instead, the city is divided into 12 boroughs (e.g. Mitte, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Neukölln), which perform the tasks of municipal administration.

## Major cities

- Berlin (as a city state, the city constitutes the entire state)

## Transport

Berlin's U-Bahn network with lines [U1](/en/concepts/ubahn-berlin-u1.html) to U9 is operated by [BVG](/en/organizations/bvg.html), complemented by the Berlin S-Bahn. With Berlin Brandenburg Airport, several ICE hubs and a dense road and cycling network, Berlin is the central transport hub of the east.

## Economy

Berlin is a centre for services, the digital economy, creative and cultural industries and start-ups; compared with the territorial states, industry plays a smaller role.
