1991: Berlin becomes the capital of Germany
-
In 1991, Berlin was officially declared the capital of the reunified Federal Republic of Germany. Allied Forces left the city during 1994, but it was only when the Bundestag, the German parliament, moved here from Bonn on 19 April 1999 that Berlin became the “real” capital. Today, all the main ministries, the Bundesrat (upper house), and the Chancellor’s and the President’s offices are based in Berlin.
