	Ich bin ein Berliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a citizen of Berlin") is a famous quotation from a June 26, 1963 speech of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in West Berlin.
		However, it was universally known as the Berlin Wall and the majority opinion was that its primary purpose was to keep East German citizens from escaping to the West.
		Common souvenirs in Berlin depicting a doughnut covered with the inscription "Ich bin ein Berliner," which are often thought by American tourists to refer to this legend, represent little more than a contemporary play on words.

	Ich Bin Ein Berliner
		In German that word “Berliner” is used less to describe the people of the city of Berlin than as a name for a kind of local sweet snack.
		During these years Berlin was split in half by the imposing physical barrier of the Berlin Wall, a high and heavily fortified structure aimed at preventing the oppressed citizens of East Germany escaping to ‘the West’.
		Berlin is a city that’s worth visiting simply to renew your faith in human beings’ ability to regenerate themselves.

	Kennedy, John F. Quotes Mistake : "I Am a Jelly Donut"
		"Ich bin Berliner" is not the same as "Ich bin ein Berliner" In my opinion the first expression usually means more like "I was born in Berlin", whereas the latter one emphasizes the citizenship.
		As a foreigner JFK was well advised to use the locution ich bin ein Berliner, since literally he wasn't one of them, but he meant to identify with the people of the beleaguered city and certainly didn't speak the language.
		Ich bin ein Berliner means that he is a kind of cake, I think.

		He said "ich bin ein Berliner" (literally "I am a Berliner") apparently intending to mean "I'm one of you", expressing solidarity with the people of west berlin in a trying period of time.
		However, "ein Berliner" is what you call a particular kind of pastry, so people often joke that Kennedy said "I am a jelly doughnut".
		He should have said "Ich bin Berliner" (no "ein"), but on the other hand, Berlin knew what he meant.

		It was a tough call, but we recalled how glad we were to visit something as momentous as the Demilitarized Zone on the border between North and South Korea during the 2002 World Cup, and decided not to miss a chance to see what might well have been Ground Zero of the Cold War.
		First, our quick glimpse into how Berlin has dealt with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 shows a city that seems to be agressively integrating the formerly Communist and Allied sides of the city.
		Otherwise, the only signs it ever existed are inlaid bricks in the streets showing its former path, and the Checkpoint Charlie museum commemorating the famous point at between which authorized personnel could traverse the boundary between east and west.

		Kennedy’s historic June 26, 1963, speech declaring American solidarity with the citizens of Berlin and Germany bitterly divided between the communist east and the free west may well prove to have been the high-water mark of postwar German-American relations.
		The Berlin Wall, the blight on Berlin that Kennedy condemned during his Schöneberg speech, contributed to the growth of that thorn in the first place.

	Michael von Aichberger - "Ich bin ein Berliner"
		In spite of the GDR being the better German state, many East Berliners were tempted and turned their backs on their socialist paradise.
		On the other side, many West Berliners didn't sleep well anymore, for fear the GDR and its big brother could inadvertently march into West Berlin.
		He first served as a priest in the refugee camp of Berlin Marienfelde, later in the parish of Berlin Spandau.

	Ich bin ein Berliner
		There are sometimes stylistic reasons for the one or the other (with or without the ein), but the elementary fact that seems hard to learn is that 'ich bin ein Berliner/ Bauer/etc.' are not incorrect, and are quite common.
		Maybe the impact of the "ein" can be conveyed by the fact that the article leaves room for an imaginary adjective, or further explanation: "Ich bin ein (stolzer) Preusse, kennt ihr meine Farben?" (from a song).
		He felt that EIN Berliner was correct, that "Ich bin Berliner" would have sounded as if Kennedy were actually a citizen of Berlin.

	newsobserver.com \| Ich bin ein Berliner weisse
		Berliner weisse beer is brewed with wheat, but unlike the more familiar wheat beers of southern Germany, such as hefeweizen, the traditional beer of Berlin is sharply sour.
		When Napoleon's soldiers entered Berlin, they dubbed Berliner weisse "the Champagne of the north." Indeed, with its refreshing acidity, this pale straw-colored brew can resemble sparkling white wine more than it does other beer styles that stress bitterness rather than tartness.
		Berliners serve the beer in huge goblets -- this beer style is very low in alcohol -- and blunt the acid attack with syrups: most often raspberry, which colors the beer red, or woodruff, a herb essence that tints the beer fluorescent green.

	Ich bin ein Berliner
		Nur ein kurzer, unwissenschaftlicher Zusatz von einem ehemaligen Berliner: In Berlin heissen die kugligen Dinger mit Marmelade drin nicht etwa "Berliner Pfannkuchen" oder kurz "Berliner", sondern einfach nur Pfannkuchen, weil man ja schon in Berlin ist, vermute ich.
		In Berlin the ball-shaped things with marmelade inside are not called anything like Berlin Pancakes or Berliners for short, rather they're simply called pancakes, because you're already in Berlin, I suppose.
		In other words, the Berliners, that is the residents of Berlin, would never have come upon the idea that Kennedy could have said, I'm a Pancake, jelly doughnut, or anything of the sort.

		A "Berliner" is not actually a jelly or cream "filled" donut, but rather a pastry with a glazed fruit topping (and quite delicious).
		The food is identified with the "ein", while residency is identified with the absence of a qualifier.
		Thus "ein Berliner" is a jelly doughnut, while "Berliner" is a resident.

	To Darrin Hudson: ICH BIN EIN BERLINER.
		I've heard and read from several different sources the story that John F. Kennedy made a major German language blunder in his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in Berlin, Germany.
		The story goes that he should have said "Ich bin Berliner" ("I am a citizen of Berlin"), and that "Ich bin ein Berliner" really means "I am a jelly doughnut." Nevertheless, after spending the past week in Germany, you can either call me a Berliner or a jelly doughnut and I wouldn't mind either way.

		Most of time, I truly and disconcertingly felt lost in the crowd, although it was the same environment (Berlin’s Intercontinental Hotel) where for years I had the feeling of being a member of a family, albeit a visibly growing one.
		I had the impression this time that some of the brothers and sisters had disappeared (which may be the result of fabulous success --- making such events superfluous for them -- or frustrating failure, making them unaffordable or inappropriate).

		The Berlin Wall was set to be demolished piece by piece, and you just didn’t know how long it would take them to get around to this particular section, the one with all the art on it.
		It was an occasion that coincided with the fall of communism in Europe, so I was repeatedly dispatched to Berlin, and, each time, I’d return to Schlesisches Tor hauling my decrepit 35mm Fujico, a virtual relic with an automatic winding mechanism that sounded about as subtle as a diesel truck shifting into third gear.
		That’s what always alerted the tent-town people to my presence, although they eventually downgraded their threats to a general grumpiness when they finally concluded I wasn’t there to hammer myself off a hunk after all.
