Foreign Influences
Turkish immigrants also have had a considerable influence on German eating habits; Döner kebab, a meat sandwich invented by Berlin Turkish immigrants,[dubious – discuss] is Germany's favourite fast food, selling twice as much as the major burger chains put together (namely Mc Donald's and Burger King, being the only widespread burger chains in Germany).

This section is absolutely correct. There´s a german saying. "Nur Döner macht schöner". This means something like "Only Döner makes you nice(r)". (kalt wie stahl) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.226.150.180 (talk) 12:21, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

This certainly isn't correct in my experience, having traveled widely across Germany for the past 7 years. Germany's "favorite fast food" is the sausage. In any major German city it's impossible to walk 2 blocks without coming across a sausage stand. The same goes for train stations. Sausages, sausages, sausages. I don't remember ever seeing a doner kebab stand! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.75.23 (talk) 18:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Along the main street of my town I count: 1 McDonalds, 1 Burger King, 1 sausage stand, 1 pasta stand, 2 Chinese/Asian fastfood stads, 8 (!) Döner stands. I think sausage stands are widespread only on festivals and, as you said, train stations. Greetings from Germany, --ᛏᛟᚱᚨᚾᚨ (talk) 16:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * However, your saying is, of course, a Carnival parody. ("Ich hab ne Zwiebel aufm Kopf und bin ein Döner - denn Döner - macht schöner"...) --131.159.0.7 (talk) 16:00, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That's right. That "saying" isn't even really a saying, but rather part of a song text. But nonetheless, Döner is probably the most widespread fastfood in Germany. Regards, ᛏᛟᚱᚨᚾᚨ (talk) 01:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Sausage stands ("Würstchenbude", "Frittenbude", "Pommesbude", in some places de:Grillwalkers) are ubiquitous in many German cities. I am not saying Döner stands aren't ubiquitous too. --Prüm (talk) 17:59, 21 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe we Germans are so used to seeing Würstchen everywhere we don't even realize how many there really are.
 * But you're right: you can even get Sausages (in bread rolls) and “Fleischkäsweckle” (slices of Leberkäse in bread rolls) in many bakeries and almost any butcher shop (and those are ubiquitous, too). ᛏᛟᚱᚨᚾᚨ (talk) 16:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * German food is strongly influenced by the turkish food.--Bolzanobozen (talk) 15:49, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
