Berlin's Döner Kebab Is 50 Years Old

BERLIN, GERMANY - JULY 06: An employee prepares a customer's order at Mustafas Gemüse Kebap on July 06, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. The döner kebab, a fast food sandwich made of stacked, seasoned meat turned on a rotisserie, was popularized in Germany in the early 1970s by Turkish guest workers (Gastarbeiter in German, or migrants arriving in Germany after World War II to counter labor shortages), with more stands offering the dish in Berlin than in Istanbul, and many considering it to be Germany's national dish.
