The city of Cölln, which was first mentioned in a document in 1237, arose on the Spree island. In 1244 the first mention of Berlin followed, which lies on the north-eastern bank of the Spree. On October 3, 1990, the two German states were reunited as the Federal Republic of Germany and Berlin became the German capital by virtue of the Unification Treaty.
