When was the doner kebab invented?

The doner kebab is actually called doner kebab. The Turkish term means “rotating grilled meat”.

• The doner kebab was invented in 1972. Its inventor is called Kadir Nurman.
• Norman came to Germany as a guest worker in the late 1960s and initially lived in Stuttgart.
• When Norman moved to Berlin in 1972, he noticed that many people lived under time pressure and liked fast food on the go.
• That’s when Nurmann came up with the idea for the doner kebab: He packed meat and onions in flatbread.
