It's the gateway city, the hub, the nation's center, the financial and business capital. It isn't particularly interesting or historic, but it's most people's first introduction to Germany.

We are strictly talking name recognition by casual observers. As a kid in the growing up in the 80's, Berlin was the first German city I became aware of in the news and current events. I quickly leaned about Bonn (W. Germany), Frankfurt (skyscrapers), Munich (beer), Potsdam (great-grandmother from there), etc. shortly after though.
