City/ Town of the Month - September 2010
Berlin is in the Buffalo City Municipality and is 20 km from King William's Town. It was one of the first towns in Africa to be founded by people of German origin. It was named after the Capital of Germany. In that year, in order to consolidate the gains made by the Cape after the War of Mlanjeni, many immigrants were brought out by the Anglo German Legion under Count C.A. von Lilienstien and Lt Col von Hacke. It was the first massed settlement of German speaking people on the African continent. Two of the original cottages erected by the German settlers still stand in the Village near the adjoining area of Charlottenberg.
