Tino Antoni Schwierzina (30 May 1927 – 29 December 2003) was a German lawyer and politician. Between May 1990 and January 1991 he served as the first and last freely elected mayor[1] of East Berlin.[2] His term of office was dominated by the fusion of the two halves of Berlin[1] which had been politically (and increasingly also, until 1989, physically) divided since before 1949.[3] By some criteria Tino Schwierzina was also the last mayor of East Berlin ahead of reunification.
