List of Turkish Germans

The following is a list of notable Turkish Germans . This includes people of full or partial ethnic Turkish origin born in Germany, as well as ethnic Turkish immigrants who have arrived in Germany either from the Seljuk and Ottoman territories or from post-Ottoman modern nation-states (especially from the Republic of Turkey, but also from the Balkans, Cyprus, as well as other parts of the Levant and North Africa).

Most notable Turkish Germans originate from the Republic of Turkey; however, there are also notable Germans of ethnic Turkish origin who came from Seljuk Anatolia (e.g. Sadok Seli Soltan  [ de ]) and the Ottoman Empire (e.g. Friedrich Aly  [ de ], ^{[1] [2]} Fatima Kariman ^[3] and Mehmet von Königstreu  [ de ] ^[4] ). In addition, there are notable ethnic Turks who come from other post-Ottoman modern nation-states, especially from the Balkans (e.g. Ozan Güven, ^[5] Filiz Osmanodja, ^[6] Erol Sabanov, ^[7] and Kemal Kurt ^[8] are of Turkish Bulgarian origin; Hüdai Ülker is of Turkish Macedonian ^[8] origin; Ateed and Cemile Giousouf are of Turkish Western Thracian origin), the island of Cyprus (e.g. Turgay Hilmi, ^[9] Atesh Salih, and Rüya Taner ^[10] are of Turkish Cypriot origin), the Levant (e.g. Yasemin Mansoor  [ de ] is of Turkish Iraqi origin; ^[11] Burak Karan is of Turkish Syrian origin; and Bilal Aziz Özer is of Turkish Lebanese origin), etc.

This list is arranged alphabetically by surname following the Turkish alphabet arrangement. Notable ethnic Turks who originate from outside the modern borders of Turkey (i.e. from the Balkans, Cyprus, the Levant, etc.) are listed with their origin. Furthermore, individuals who are of partial Turkish origin are listed with their dual identity.

Türken in Franken - und ihre frühen Vorläufer, Nord Bayern, 2010, retrieved 26 March 2021, Die beiden liegenden Figuren unter dem Pferd des Markgrafen werden im Erlanger Stadtlexikon als ein Türke und als die Verkörperung des Neids («Invidia») gedeutet. Und die vier kauernden Sklaven an den Ecken des Postaments erinnern daran, dass in der Zeit der Türkenkriege oft Türken oder türkische Untertanen mit nach Deutschland verschleppt wurden. Sie wurden hier «bekehrt» und in oft spektakulären «Türkentaufen» in die evangelische oder katholische Kirche aufgenommen und mit einem neuen Namen versehen.... Professor Hartmut Heller hat den Lebensweg Betroffener untersucht und festgestellt, dass sie zu geachteten Mitbürgern wurden und Einheimische heirateten. So mag mancher Franke türkische Vorfahren haben. Die schöne, kluge und charmante Fatme wurde sogar zu einer Gräfin Castell, und aus dem sechsjährigen Türkenknaben Yussuf mit dem neuen Namen Christian Joseph Borgk wurde ein lutherischer Pfarrer in einem Dorf bei Windsheim.
