The Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region (German: Metropolregion Berlin/Brandenburg, also Hauptstadtregion Berlin-Brandenburg) is one of eleven metropolitan regions of Germany, consisting of the entire territories of the city-state of Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg. The region covers an area of 30,370 square kilometres (11,730 sq mi) with a total population exceeding 6 million.
The metropolitan region has to be distinguished from the Berlin agglomeration comprising the city and the surrounding Brandenburg municipalities (Berliner Umland).
Beside the city of Berlin, the metropolitan region covers five independent cities – of which the Brandenburg capital Potsdam is the only one with a population greater than 100,000 – and 14 districts (Landkreise). The inhabitants of Berlin and Potsdam account for more than 80 percent of the region's total population. The Brandenburg area is characterized by suburban settlements on the Berlin city limits and small towns in the rural outer area.
