I defer to your vastly greater knowledge of the German language of course. But a “Berliner Pfannkuchen” or “Berliner” for short/slang would have been known by almost every German who heard what Kennedy said that day in Berlin & across all of Germany in that most historic & great speech as a jelly-filled doughnut. It is a quirk of the language.
By the way, in the very tiny Bavarian village of Mietraching outside the gate of our National Security Agency Post (Bad Aibling Kaserne), the tiny convenience store sold a dark chocolate-covered marshmallow with wafer on bottom called a Neggerkusse (a Ni**er Kiss in English)! I was horrified as a 14-year old teen at such a term (like the slang “Ni**er Toes” in the USA used regionally in the South for Brazil nuts & chocolate-covered cream toe-shaped candy) & would never say the word but would just point and say “drei bitte”. LOL.

Gruss Gott ya’ll (from Austin, Texas – “Keep Austin Weird”)!

I lived in Germany for 3 years & took German classes from a native German speaker teacher at Munich American High School & traveled to Berlin. German is my second language. I dare you to go into a pastry shop in Berlin and say “Ich bin ein Berliner.” I did it for fun & the employees behind the counter & customers behind me laughed as hard as I did. I guess my University of Texas Linguistics Professor with a Ph.D. after her name was wrong too. LOL

I to am teaching my son the art of numismatics, our younger generation have the ability to determine what coins will be of value for the next generation as it is their generation…and to see their eyes light up is worth more than the value of any coin.

I just gave an uncirculated 2010 to my 15 year old son, and his eyes told me the worth of them.
If we keep our youth interested, the new generation of collecting will grow.

Kennedy is right up there (nearly) with the Pope in the majority Catholic state of Bavaria, Germany where I lived. I saw in some German homes both portraits next to each other on walls & coffee tables of homes I visited there 1976-79.
I have a craving for fried German potato pancakes with applesauce on top.Yummy!
