It means, "I am a Berliner", or "I am from Berlin". This phrase was made famous by President Kennedy in a speech he gave - in Berlin, Germany.

A line made famous by Pres. Kennedy at his speech at the Branenburg Gate in 1961 or 1962.

This line was repeated by Pres. Reagan in the mid 1980's at the same location, in his famous "Tear down this wall" speech.

What does ich bin ein Berliner mean?

The phrase Ich bin Berliner translates as I am a Berliner. N.b. it is not necessary in German to include the indefinite article (Ich bin ein Berliner) in such a sentence. It was famously made by JF Kennedy during his famous Berlin speech on June 26, 1963. The indefinite article is only required in sentences with non-human subjects.As a result of this "inadvertent" inclusion, Kennedy's famous claim is often affectionately translated by Germans as I am a jam doughnut (Berliner is a German word for jam doughnut)
