As a personal aside, I believe this infographic was made by someone 10-15 years younger than me because almost none of them felt “surprisingly recent” to me.
As for the German "Currywurst" there is still an ongoing dispute whether it was invented in Berlin or Hamburg. They also differ in what kind of sausages are used. But I have to admit that I am not update date to that dispute and if someone was able to prove the "real" origin meanwhile.
Regarding the "doner sandwich" two things are worth to mention: First: The term "Döner" refers in Germany nearly always to a quarter flatbread filled with doner meat and salad. Seond: Some Germans think this filled flatbread variant is a traditional Turkish dish brought to Germany by the turkish "Gastarbeiter". But in fact, it is said that the "Döner" (as the doner sandwich) was invented in Germany by some of the Gastarbeiter.
@Der Marek The invention of the Currywurst happened 1947 in Hamburg... ...but only in the short novel 'Die Entdeckung der Currywurst' from Uwe Timm. There's consens that in reality the Currywurst was invented 1949 in Berlin. That the occurrences of the novel also happened in reality was only a hoax that some people in Hamburg celebrated for some time.
