John F. Kennedy famously said, "Ich bin ein Berliner" on June 26, 1963, to show support for West Berlin during the Cold War. The statement was made in a speech delivered in West Berlin’s Schöneberg District, reaffirming American solidarity with the citizens of Berlin, who faced the threat of communism and division. At the time, Berlin was a focal point of the ideological conflict between the East and West, especially after the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Kennedy's words resonated deeply, symbolizing freedom and democracy while denouncing oppression, and remain a significant moment in Cold War history.
