Hamburger

17:24 Mar 28, 2015 

Frankfurter Kranz has nothing to do with sausages, Amerikaner are confectionery, Berliner are doughnuts, Florentiner are nutty biscuits, and Palatschinken has nothing at all to do with ham.

If we add terms like Engländer for an adjustable spanner and Pariser for condoms, it is quite possible that there may be another Hamburger out there somewhere - whatever it might be - that is not a ground beef patty.

For the 'leichtfärbende Produkte" I used 'products that brown easily' We are talking about baked goods here. So forget about staining.
So perhaps I should have written the question like this:
Has ANYBODY ever heard the term "Hamburger" applied to some type of baked goods in the German speaking world (and I do not mean hamburger buns)?

I really did not expect this amount of controversy, really. Thanks for all your answers. I am leaning toward omitting the term but giving the customer a note about it.

As the text is German, I would appreciate it if you could switch me back to German into English.
Thanks.

If you search "Hamburger Gebäck" as I did, you get pointed to Franzbrötchen as a signature pastry from Hamburg. Mickey D is a local name used for McDonald's, the large hamburger chain.
In this particular text, although perhaps I did not make it as clear as I should have, the oven is used to bake goods, not fry burgers. So it is a translation for a 'Backschrank'

It comes from a company based in Germany. However, as an engineer, I have seen a lot of German that sounds foreign but isn't and that I have to translate :(

Question seems justified to me - what I didn't understand is what sort of oven is unsuitable for pastry crusts? Nick's answer seems to help, but is "easy staining" really the issue? Surely if your oven "stains" because of pastry, it "stains" even more with anything else you would want to put in an oven? Or does this refer to browning of the item being cooked. Is this in connection to a steam function, perhaps. See http://www.siemens-home.co.uk/cooking-with-steam-ovens.html and it all begins to make sense.

Auslassen ist hier sicher eine Option. Der Hamburger scheint auf den ersten Blick tatsächlich nicht in die Liste mit Tortenboden und Plundergebäck zu passen. Andrerseits sind der Tortenboden und das Plundergebäck eben Beispiele für die Konditoreiwaren und der Hamburger steht als Beispiel für ein „leichtfärbendes Produkt“.

I agree that neither real "meat" hamburger (patties) or hamburger bread rolls fit into the same category as "Tortenboden" and "Plundergebäck". So I would support Mariana and apply the rule: If in doubt, leave it out.
Just ignore the term.

Am I the only person who's mystified by this question? What is the relevance of Franzbrötchen, which are not mentioned in the text? Who is Mickey D? Why should Hamburger be anything but hamburgers?

Aus welchem Land stammt denn dein Text? "Konditoreiware" und "leichtfärbende Produkte" klingen wie Übersetzungen aus einer anderen Sprache.

Here you have the Franzbrötchen:

But I suspect that with Hamburger they mean just the kind of round bread used for hamburger sandwiches.

It has already been specified what category should not be baked in that oven and the Hamburger are just another example. It's highly unlikely that someine will want to bake these in the States anyway. ;)
