Could it be that you are me? I agree with pretty much of what you said.
I was born in Detmold, but have crisscrossed across Germany at all four compass directions meanwhile. Münster 14 years, Berlin ten years, ten in Osnabrück, and Lübeck five years have been my longest stays in one place, with Lübeck being liked most as a place. Berlin was my teen years, so it is a hate-love, I dislike the city, but it is a known place, even if disliked, and by age those years (and the very much liked school I was at) nevertheless where the best years in my life, roughly my second decade. But at no costs I would go back to Berlin
today. Divided Cold War Berlin was so much better. Must sound strange, but many Berliners who lived back then, said and say so.
