While "döner kebap" means spinning skewer in Turkish (I think?), it's internationally known as the name of a dish that originated in Berlin. This dish contains meat from said skewer, but also vegetables, particularly cabbage, and garlic/yoghurt sauce, in a turkish style flatbread.
A tofu version of said dish is what's being posted. This obviously doesn't involve a large spinning skewer or real meat, but its a variation on the dish so it makes sense to call it that.
NO IT ISN'T
Only ignorant germans claim those lies. Döner kebap has been named, eaten and sold in the ottoman empire for fucks sake. Yes, even in bread, it's called ekmek arası (döner kebap).

quoting the article you linked:
but it kinda doesn't matter where it was invented, point is that most people absolutely mean this dish when they say döner kebab.
