The term "Bundesland" is of mostly colloquial use, the official term is "Land", so it is "Land Berlin" for the admin level 4 entity. At the same time, it is also "Stadt" (city), and the respective public responsibilities are not separated (the precise legal term is "Einheitsgemeinde"). You can see this in Art. 1 of its constitution: http://gesetze.berlin.de/default.aspx?vpath=bibdata%2Fges%2FBlnVerf%2Fcont%2FBlnVerf.A1.htm I had some years ago proposed to have both entities mapped in OSM ("Land Berlin" and "Stadt Berlin", with identical territory), but this was rejected by the time ;-) cheers, Martin
