1954 Press Photo Mayor of Berlin casts vote in 1954 elections in Berlin.

The world gazes on Berlin.... There are 1,695,000 eligible voters in Berlin. Here we have Berlin's municipal leader, mayor Dr. Schreiber and his spouse, who are here to decide which political path the residents of the German bulwark of freedom will take in the next four years. While in 1950 they could pick from eight parties, this time nine parties will be represented on the ballot. For the first time since 1946, the SED again has candidates up for election in the Berlin delegation house.
