East Berlin had trams, West Berlin had double decker buses. The doubledeckers can't pass safely below the wires of the tram, so if you see a tram you are in former east Berlin, but if you see a doubledecker you are in former west. At least that's what my friend told me years ago who lived in Berlin for some years. Can someone confirm this? I can't find any info on this on the internet.

That might have been the case at some point, but I have definitely been on a doubledecker bus that's crossing Tram lines in east Berlin.
