A Berlin carriage is so-named because of its form of undercarriage. It has two perches linking its four wheels in place of one perch. Any body it may carry is suspended from thoroughbraces which stretch between transoms instead of from high posts. The bottom of the body is rounded to fit the thoroughbraces.

A perch is a centre pole connecting the front and rear axles which allows the whole structure to flex

A thoroughbrace is any of a number of strong leather straps supporting the body of a coach or carriage

A coach has a fixed roof — "a standing roof on four corner pillars, four door pillars and full upper and lower panels". A "glass coach" has glazed upper panels

It is believed to have been invented in Germany about 1660
