Police and firemen attended to more than 1,000 emergencies, and several open air events, including a concert to celebrate South Africa's hosting of the football World Cup 2010, were cancelled as rain and thunder lashed the city late Friday. 
Meteorologists said Berlin had more than half its average monthly rainfall for July in just a few minutes.
Traffic was severely disrupted by the downpour and pedestrians found themselves up to their ankles in rain, while hundreds of cellars, underground garages and cars were flooded.
About 800 police and firemen were sent out to remove about 50 uprooted trees.
The Italian football team, which is playing France in the World Cup final in Berlin on Sunday, delayed their move to the capital from their tournament base in Duisberg because the pitch in the capital was deemed too wet for a practice session.
The weather services forecast lighter storms over Berlin for the rest of the weekend.
