My name is Doris Becker
I was born in Berlin
I grew up in: Berlin and after the war in Düsseldorf
I have no sisters and brothers.

- the BRD is a democratic constitutional state with a Federal President, Federal Parliament and Federal Council
- the Capital is BERLIN
- the so-called "Brandenburger Tor" in Berlin is our symbol for the reunification of the two German parts in 1989/90
- the BRD is divided into 16 Bundesländer (federal states) with about 82 million inhabitants (more than 7 million are foreigners)
