1. (regional, western Germany, somewhat dated) Synonym of Berliner (“kind of pastry”)

• Generally, the short form Berliner is now preferred, but Berliner Ballen is still used for clarity. Some older people continue to use it in all instances. The form Berliner Pfannkuchen is not current in western Germany and even unlikely to be understood.
