After World War II, the city was divided; East Berlin became the capital of East Germany while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989).Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany, hosting 158 foreign embassies.[ Berlin is a world city of culture, politics, media, and science.
