West Berlin was scarcely democratic in many senses that we would understand. Until German reunification it had a somewhat anomalous status, beingp art of neither the Federal Republic nor the DDR. It remained an 'occupied city' ruled by the Four Powers, in whom authority ultimately rested; West Berliners could not elect deputioes to the West german parliament (though they could elect city councillors and mayor).
