Christfried Berger (7 January 1938 – 19 November 2003) was a Protestant theologian in the German Democratic Republic and subsequently, in Germany following reunification.

[1] Berger was born in Posen, at that time a major industrial city in the heart of eastern Germany.

He subsequently created and for many years led the illegal convention of former non-fighting "Construction soldiers" in the German Democratic Republic.

By doing this he attracted an intense and sustained programme of "observation" from officers of the ubiquitous Ministry for State Security and their collaborators in what, since October 1949, had been the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic.

During the defining closing months of late 1989 and early 1990, Christfried Berger chaired the Foreign Policy Working Group of the East German Round Table exercise.
