>>25802132Burger comes from Hamburg, the city.
Burg just means fort or fortress.
Burgenland therefore is just fortressland.
fun fact the people of Hamburg are called Hamburger in german.
The german word for citizen also derives from Burg and is Bürger.
But we also use the english word burger for the fast food. And the difference in pronunciation is pretty close although not exactly the same.
If anything burgerland should refer to german speaking countries since we call our citizens Bürger.
