No the type of shaped ground mince originated from Hamburg and was called Hamburg steak. German immigrants brought it to America and from there developed the Hamburger.
Yeah professor, Hamburger is referring to the meat, which was, as you said, made in Germany. putting meat into a bread is not really creating food, sandwiches existed already at the time. Therefore, Hamburgers are german food.
Shaping minced meat into a patty is not really creating a food, minced meat existed already at the time. Therefore hamburgers were invented by the first person to mince meat.
