I would say berlin atleast with name recognition, I think the world cup helped make some other cities more "house friendly" and common.

I loved watching "Wer wird Millionär?" (who wants to be a millionaire?) -- great show to study German, because they would put the question, in writing, on the screen, then discuss it in detail. (I was stricken by the idea that the same guy who did the commentary on fussball games, Günther Jauch, was the host -- no American fooball broadcaster would be taken seriously in the US version).
Anyway, one of the questions to get out into the chair was to take four given US states, and put them in order of their admittance to the Union. I remember thinking that most Americans couldn't possibly even name four German states.

German was actually almost voted as the countries language, when they were deciding it finished second.

Berlin is definitely first for me, followed by Munich and then Frankfurt (mainly because of Rhine-Main Airport). I didn't know that Hamburg was the second largest German city.

Good to see that so many people have information about Germany. 
I got a job offer for Berlin, beginning March 09 and I would like to gather as many information as possible. My biggest problem is the search for a flat. I tried my best on the web but all I could find about Berlin property is this and that wasn't very satisfying. Does anyone know if the real estate market in Germany has the same problem as the US market? Thank you very much in advance for your responses.

No real estate bubble in Germany, so there is no crisis.
