Berlin is (like Hamburg and Bremen) an individual federal state. it has not so much industry like Bavaria or Nord-Rhine-Westphalia. Berlin lives from turists who leave a lot of bucks here, but compared to the other (mostly west-german) federal states - Berlin is one of the poorest...

We are poor - but sexy. This was the slogan of the prevoius mayor of Berlin Klaus Wowereit. :-)
