Germany - its capital (6)

I believe the answer is:

berlin

(Other definitions for berlin that I've seen before include "Irving . . . . . . , great American song-writer" , "capital city" , "Irving -, Russian-born musical composer" , "Composer < in carriage < in European capital" , "German capital" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
