Despite the slight to our Teutonic bretheren, hamburgers AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY were first made in the USA. It has a beef patty and is on a bread 'bun'. The accompanying condiments have origins in many places.
However, if you have a special burger in mind, it may well be the invention of a Kiwi, Aussie or Yank or for that matter even by someone from Hamburg, Germany.
I am not an expert on weenies, so I will defer to others for their expertise.

Nong Khai at one time had a restaurant from almost every country you could want to eat from. You could get home made sauerkraut and sausages, tacos and enchiladas, excellent steaks, fish and chips, and that not counting the chains like KFC, Pizza Company, and Mcdonalds.
Nothing like seeing a perfect steak covered in ketchup by a Thai bride.

Report from The Nation dated Sunday 24 December 2006 :-
Isaan's not ready for the worldwide wooing on the Web
=========================================
All but a few local women met foreign hubbies the old way
Only about 4 per cent of women in the Northeast of Thailand with Western husbands met them over the Internet, despite the explosion of the world wide web, a brief study has found.
Most of the women first came into contact with their spouses at their work places or entertainment venues, the study by Asst Professor Supawatanakorn Wongthanawasu of Khon Kaen University found.
Supawatanakorn, of the university's Faculty of Nursing, said most of those who met their husbands over the Internet had university degrees and careers and were mainly interest in marrying foreign men.
The information was part of an ongoing study of the cultural impact of Thai-Western marriages in the region.
Supawatanakorn interviewed 231 Thai wives in Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and Roi Et. She found about 60 per cent had met their future husbands at workplaces or entertainment venues, about 20 per cent via mutual friends and 17 per cent through relatives, most of whom were married to foreigners.
Among the first group, Supawatanakorn cited the case of 28-year-old Khon Kaen native Boonsom, whose Thai husband had left her and their one-month-old child. Boonsom had worked in Pattaya as a bar girl for nearly a year when she met her German future husband, who asked her to quit the job and bought her a house there.
The couple later visited her family and bought another house in Khon Kaen, renting out the Pattaya house. Her husband goes back to Germany to work for three months each year to earn money for Boonsom.
Supawatanakorn said the 4 per cent of women who met their Western partners via the Internet and matchmaking services were an interesting group because they were single and most were well educated and had good careers.
One woman, Kay, has a bachelors degree and works for an educational institute. She met her husband on the website Italiandating.com. She had to post her photo and personal information such as age, educational background, job, personality, hobby and preferred qualifications of a partner.
Kay specified that she preferred his age to be around 25-39 and he must be rich. Since she was a single woman, Kay could post her information for free while women who were divorced had to pay the webmaster a Bt699 fee.
After the photo and information was posted, the female user received a membership code in Italian. Whenever a foreign man became interested in a Thai member, he could contact them via e-mail only. When ready to take the next step in the relationship the man would have to pay US$200 (Bt7,300) which allowed the exchange of telephone numbers or postal addresses.
Kay was in contact with one of her correspondents, who owned a restaurant in Bangkok, for two months before they became serious and later got married.
"Cross-cultural matchmaking services via electronic means receive a lot of attention and have become widespread, as seen from advertisements of such services in the media," Supawatanakorn said, adding the study found many matchmakers were also married to foreigners.
She cited the case of Khon Kaen resident Somporn who was married to a Briton and opened a company providing matchmaking services to about 100 women - each paid her a Bt20,000 membership fee - and many had already succeed in marrying foreigners.
The study found that about 80 per cent of the women chose their partners solely on their own intuition, while 11 per cent were influenced by parents, 7 per cent by friends and 1 per cent by their children from a previous marriage.
Meanwhile, 52 per cent said there was no formal marriage proposal from the would-be husband to their families, while 51 per cent had no wedding ceremony.
Supawatanakorn said 56 per cent registered their marriages and the rest did not. Seventy-four per cent had not had children with their foreign husbands, 17 per cent had one kid, 5 per cent had two children and 1 per cent had more than two kids.

A very brief search of the web came up with this on the history of hamburgers, suggesting that it was the ancient Egyptians and then Genghis Khan who started the craze. It seems to suggest also that there were hamburger recipes in old english and european cookbooks that were written before America was discovered.
http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/HamburgerHistory.htm
But then there is so much nonsense written on the internet who could possibly believe it.
Pretty soon there will be an article that no doubt correctly attributes the birth of the hamburger to some ancient Isaan recipe book. So maybe history will just come full circle.
The far more serious question seems to be whether a hamburger is served in a bun or in bread.

From the link you provided:
"1209-1121 - Genghis Khan (1167-1227), crowned the "emperor of all emperors," and his army of fierce Mongol horsemen, known as the "Golden Horde," conquered two thirds of the then known world. The Mongols were a fast-moving, cavalry-based army that rode small sturdy ponies. They stayed in their saddles for long period of time, sometimes days without ever dismounting. They had little opportunity to stop and build a fire for their meal. The entire village would follow behind the army on great wheeled carts they called "yurts," leading huge herds of sheep, goats, oxen, and horses. As the army needed food that could be carried on their mounts and eaten easily with one hand while they rode, ground meat was the perfect choice. They would use scrapings of lamb or mutton which were formed into flat patties. They softened the meat by placing them under the saddles of their horses while riding into battle. When it was time to eat, the meat would be eaten raw, having been tenderized by the saddle and the back of the horse."
The above is steak tartar, not hamburger (which is cooked and served on a bun). Chopped meat that is cooked, but not served on a bun, is called pâté, terrine, or meat loaf.
From the same link:
The Origin of Hamburgers and Ketchup, by Prof. Giovanni Ballarini:
"The origin of the hamburger is not very clear, but the prevailing version is that at the end of 1800' s, European emigrants reached America on the ships of the Hamburg Lines and were served meat patties quickly cooked on the grill and placed between two pieces of bread."
