Durum Kebab is Turkish.  Germany has quite a high population of Turks due to their ill conceived "guest worker" program.  As a result of that, there are many, many Kebab shops.  They are popular amongst Germans now.  Easier to get a Kebab than a Schnitzel.  The Kebab stores in Germany are generally run by Middle Easterners/Turks.

I have no idea how anyone could think it was a German dish?  My wifes German. I might tell her that someone thought they were actually German.  She could use a laugh.
