In the German Forum we came to the conclusion that the idea probably was
to indicate it's the capital (which should be done with role:
admin_centre) http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=25418
I removed that Tag from Berlin.

Hm I've looked up a few other cities (Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Lyon,
Marseille, Rotterdam, Zurich, Manchester, Birmingham, Salzburg,
Aarhus) and they do not have an admin_level tag on the place=* node.
At the same time, I found some other cities that do: Paris [1],
Kopenhagen [2], Barcelona [3], Madrid [4], Brussels [5], Amsterdam
[6], Bern [7], Vienna [8], Rome [9], Milan [10]:

I see an approximate pattern: capital cities tend to have an
admin_level tag, others tend not to have it. Maybe it's something in
use for backward compatibility, such as an with and old renderer that
uses it instead of the capital tag to render a label at lower zoom
levels.

Berlin
Honestly looks like and error nobody has noticed yet. I mean admin_level=2 ?
Berlin is a city state which might justify =4, but unless we somehow tag
capitals like this I don't see the reasoning behind this tag in the first
place.
