yes, Berlin wasn't even part of the national territory (well theoretically there wasn't even a clear general situation for the territory until 1989/90, Berlin had a special status in the time from 1945-1990), but also in these days the parliament met from time to time in the Reichstag in Berlin, which had been reconstructed for this purpose. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
