The myth of the doughnut-speech
On 26th June 1963, during his election period, John F. Kennedy visited West-Berlin.
The Berlin wall was built in 1961 and Communism dominated the East of Europe including the
East of Germany.
John F. Kennedy criticized Communism and one million citizens assembled at the “Rote
Rathaus” in Berlin to listen to the President’s speech.
His words “Ich bin ein Berliner” (“I am a citizen of Berlin”) went around the world and English
speaking people understood his words meaning “I am a doughnut”.
Why?
This is simply because the grammar in the German sentence was said to be wrong. He should
have said “Ich bin Berliner”.
as k
It was only much later that the “Pfannkuchen” (doughnut) as which it was
known at that time
was called “Berliner” and the myth of the doughnut was born.
However – these words will never die.
