BERLIN, Feb. 17--West Berllners gave Mayor Willy Brandt a landslide victory and slapped down the city's Communist party in a municipal election today.

In the first city balloting since the East Berlin wall went up in August, 1961, Brandt's Socialists won 89 of the 140 seats in the city's parliament and got 61.9 per cent of the popular vote. They had 77 seats in the old 133-member parliament.

The Communists again were shut out of the city legislature and received only 1.3 per cent of the popular vote, a figure lower than that in the last election, 1958. Deputy Mayor Fran Amrehn's conservative Christian Democrats won only 41 seats.
