ARRGH!!!

Indeed, they do. They were first bred there.
But I have to disappoint you, Hamburgers do not originate in Hamburg... Unless you mean the people, of course... :)

The breed is an ancient one, and its history stretches back to the Roman Empire. In those times, the legions traveled with their meat on the hoof and required the assistance of working dogs to herd the cattle. One route the army traveled was through WÃ¼rttemberg and on to the small market town of Rottweil. The principal ancestors of the first Rottweilers during this time was supposed to be the Roman war dog, local sheepdogs the army met on its travels, and dogs with molosser appearance coming from England and The Netherlands.

The Rottweiler dog is named after this town; it used to be a butcher's dog in the region.

Hamburgers are originally from Russia and made there way from there to the United States via Hamburg. That is why they are called Hamburgers. We just had this topic in a discussion with a professor at University.
