By modern diasporas:

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) and the Ottoman Empire (e.g. Friedrich Aly,[1][2] Fatima Kariman[3] and Mehmet von Königstreu[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 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.
