Editing West Berlin (section)

==Naming conventions==
Most Westerners called the Western sectors ''Berlin'' unless further distinction was necessary. The West German Federal government officially called West Berlin {{lang|de|Berlin (West)}}, although it also used the hyphenated {{lang|de|West-Berlin}}, whereas the East German government commonly referred to it as {{lang|de|Westberlin}}.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s7kGqJGbaI4C&dq=%22Berlin+%28West%29%22+westberlin+name&pg=PA104 |title=Divided in Unity: Identity, Germany, and the Berlin Police |author=Andreas Glaeser |publisher=[[University of Chicago Press]] |year=2000 |page=104 |isbn=978-0-226-29783-5 }}</ref> Starting from 31 May 1961, East Berlin was officially called {{lang|de|Berlin, Hauptstadt der DDR}} ('Berlin, Capital of the GDR'), replacing the formerly used term {{lang|de|Demokratisches Berlin}} ('Democratic Berlin'),<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DhuQAwAAQBAJ&dq=%22Democratic+Berlin%22+gdr&pg=PA344 |title=Architecture, Politics, and Identity in Divided Berlin |author=Emily Pugh |publisher=[[University of Pittsburgh Press]] |date=2014 |page=344 |isbn=978-0-8229-7957-9 }}</ref> or simply {{lang|de|Berlin}}, by East Germany, and {{lang|de|Berlin (Ost)}} by the West German Federal government. Other names used by West German media included {{lang|de|Ost-Berlin}}, {{lang|de|Ostberlin}}, or {{lang|de|Ostsektor}}. These different naming conventions for the divided parts of Berlin, when followed by individuals, governments, or media, commonly indicated their political leanings, with the centre-right {{lang|de|[[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]]}} using {{lang|de|Ost-Berlin}} and the centre-left {{lang|de|[[Süddeutsche Zeitung]]}} using {{lang|de|Ostberlin}}.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vgoqqs9l7ikC&dq=%22Ost+Berlin%22%2C+%22Ostberlin%22%2C+or+%22Ostsektor%22&pg=PA149 |title=Bezeichnungen für "Deutschland" in der Zeit der "Wende": dargestellt an ausgewählten westdeutschen Printmedien |author=Ute Röding-Lange |publisher=[[Königshausen & Neumann]] |date=1997 |page=149 |isbn=978-3-8260-1300-3 |language=de }}</ref>
