This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
First unofficial Berlin Chess Championship was held in 1853, and Jean Dufresne won a match against Max Lange.[1] Since 1904, official Berlin championships have taken place. The first event was won by Horatio Caro, followed by Ossip Bernstein, Rudolf Spielmann, Wilhelm Cohn, Benjamin Blumenfeld, etc.[2]
As a result of the post-war division of the city into East Berlin and West Berlin, from 1953 until 1990 two separate championships were held.[3] Since the 1991 reunification of Germany, the Berlin championships are again held as single events.[4]
