This clue might be a double definition.

'famous songwriter' is the first definition.
'berlin' can be an answer for 'songwriter' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'famous' bit.

'somewhere in germany' is the second definition.
(I know that Berlin capital of Weimar Republic)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for berlin that I've seen before include "Composer < in carriage < in European capital" , "Irving . . . . . . , great American song-writer" , "City once divided by wall" , "German capital" , "Capital of Germany" .)
