When was Berlin Germany founded?

In: Germany

The generally accepted date is 1237.

You're right:

The central part of Berlin can be traced back to two towns: Cölln (on the Fisher Island) is first mentioned in a 1237 document that references a priest at Petrikirche. Berlin (across the Spree in what is now called the Nikolaiviertel) is referenced in a document from 1244. From the beginning, the two cities formed an economic and social unit. In 1307, the two cities were united politically. Over time, the twin cities came to be known simply as Berlin, the larger of the pair.

So Berlin is 771 years old.

There is no known date for its foundation; the earliest document from there is from 1240.

And yes, originally it was two cities, Berlin and Colln


Coy
Berlin will turn 18 years old on October 3 having been made capital on October 3, 1990 when East and West Germany tore the Berlin wall between them and were unified into what is known as Germany today.
