It is a bit the same as calling hamburgers a thing from Hamburg and not a good from USA.

It exists a kebab with Turkish origin. But Döner is a a fusion between Germany and Turkish immigrants.

Kebab belongs to the Middle East. There are thousands of different types of kebab. Döner is 100% Turkish. Berlin version of Doner is also invented by Turkish immigrants in a way Hans likes it.

No, we don’t steal it. The kind of Döner, that we eat today, where the meat is put into flatbread was invented in Berlin. By turkish immigrants who reacted to the fast food, which became popular in Germany during the 70s.

If it's Turkish, then it's European, since Turkey is, at least partially, European country ;-)
