Berliner Gramophone
Berliner Gramophone – its discs identified with an etched-in "E. Berliner's Gramophone" as the logo – was the first (and for nearly ten years the only) disc record label in the world. Its records were played on Emile Berliner's invention, the Gramophone, which competed with the Phonograph cylinder, wax cylinder–playing phonographs that were more common in the 1890s and could record. History Emile Berliner received U.S. patents 372,786 and 382,790 on the Gramophone on November 8, 1887, and May 15, 1888, respectively. This was before the organization of the North American Phonograph Company, which first produced cylinder recordings for public use, and thus Emile Berliner, Berliner's flat disc record is roughly contemporary with the exploitation of the cylinder medium, though it took longer for Berliner to commence production of his discs in America. Although based in Washington, D.C., Berliner's first joint venture was undertaken in Germany in 1889 with the manufacturer , a ma ...

Berliner (doughnut)
A Berliner or Krapfen is a German jam doughnut with no central hole, made from sweet Yeast, yeast dough fried in lard or cooking oil, with a jam filling, and usually covered in powdered sugar. History Sugar was very costly until the 16th century, and early doughnuts were usually stuffed with savory fillings like cheese, meat and mushroom. When imports from Caribbean sugar plantations made sugar more affordable, fruit preserves gained in popularity. In 1485, the first German-language cookbook to be published in printed form ''Kuechenmeisterei'' was published in Nuremberg and remained in print at least until 1674 with 20 editions (it was later translated into Polish in 1532). It was one of the first cookbooks printed using the Gutenberg press and contains the first known recipe for a jelly doughnut, called ''Gefüllte Krapfen'' made with jam-filled yeasted bread dough deep-fried in lard.

Berliner Helicopter
The Berliner Helicopter is a series of experimental helicopters built by Henry Berliner between 1922 and 1925. The helicopters had only limited controllability but were the most significant step forward in helicopter design in the US, until the production of the Vought-Sikorsky VS-300 helicopter in 1940. The 1922 flights of the Berliner and the de Bothezat H1 were the first by manned helicopters.''Proceedings'', Volume 48, Issues 7–12. United States Naval Institute. Development Emile Berliner, an inventor famous for his invention of the flat gramophone record, had experimented with intermeshing helicopters as early as 1907. The initial design was underpowered, and called for a lighter engine. Berliner developed a 36 hp five cylinder rotary engine with the Adams-Farwell Company from Dubuque, Iowa, producing the first rotary engine used for aircraft. Berliner later spun off the Gyro Motor Company from this work. A test rig was flown in 1908, followed by two other upgrades b ...

Berliner Weisse
Berliner Weisse (, ; "Berlin White") is a cloudy, sour ale of around 3.5% alcohol by volume. It is a regional variation of the wheat beer style from Northern Germany, dating back to at least the 16th century. It can be made from combinations of malted barley and wheat, with the stipulation that the malts are kilned at very low temperatures or even air-dried to minimise colour formation. The fermentation takes place with a mixture of yeast (''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' and '' Brettanomyces'') and lactic acid bacteria, a prerequisite that creates the lactic acid taste, a distinguishing feature of Berliner Weisse.Annemüller, Gerolf. ''Die Berliner Weisse: ein Stück Berliner Geschichte''. VLB Berlin, 2008.
