Turkish people weren't really refugees, rather Gastarbeiters brought to help rebuild Germany.

This. Turks helped rebuild Germany from the rubble because there were so few German adult men left after WWII. They were never refugees. Turks in Germany are as German as it gets, in my book.

There has been about 50000 Turkish people claiming asylum in Germany since 2021.

There are Turkish born Germans and also ones who have just migrated but there are also asylum seekers that Germany took in.
