No, I fully understand the point. By "German" you mean Fachwerkhäuser, Oktoberfest, Lederhosen and Dirndls, Bier Steins and Weißwurst, and you're correct, these cultural symbols are not characteristic of Berlin - these are Bavarian. There is so much more to German culture than Bavaria though, despite what the Bavarians think.
Fachwerkhäuser are not Bavarian, it's just that Bavaria has many old townships that kept them intact. You see them all over Germany tho.
No, I don't.
I am German, so I know what German culture is I guess.
It's literally the capital of your country and the seat of your government. How that "isn't Germany" is beyond me.
Because you don't know anything about German culture apparently.
Berlin is an extreme cultural outlier and thus not somewhere you should go to experience German culture in general.
How you don't understand despite me trying to explain it to you multiple times is beyond me
