In parts of [[Germany]], the doughnut equivalents are called ''[[Berliner (doughnut)|Berliner]]'' (sg. and pl.), but not in the capital city of [[Berlin]] itself and neighboring areas, where they are called ''Pfannkuchen'' (which is often found misleading by people in the rest of Germany, who use the word ''Pfannkuchen'' to describe a [[pancake]], which is also the literal translation of it). Both ''Berliner'' and ''Pfannkuchen'' are abbreviations of the term ''Berliner Pfannkuchen'', however.

In middle Germany, doughnuts are called ''Kreppel'' or ''Pfannkuchen''. In southern Germany, they are also called ''Krapfen'' and are especially popular during Carnival season (''[[Carnival in Germany, Switzerland and Austria|Karneval]]''/''[[Fasching]]'') in southern and middle Germany and on New Year's Eve in northern Germany. A ''Berliner'' does not have the typical ring shape of a doughnut, but instead is solid and usually filled with jam, while a ring-shaped variant called ''Kameruner'' is common in Berlin and eastern Germany. ''Bismarcks'' and ''Berlin doughnuts'' are also found in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and the United States. Today, U.S.-style doughnuts are also available in Germany, but are less popular than their native counterparts.
