- West Berlin was a political enclave which comprised the western part of Berlin from 1948 until 1990, during the Cold War. Although West Berlin was de jure not part of West Germany it was in fact within East Germany, lacked any sovereignty, and it was under military occupation until German reunification in 1990.
