Much as I DON"T like Wikipedia, they have a nice article on cabbage rolls.
A cabbage roll (or stuffed cabbage) is a savory food item made with a variety of fillings wrapped in cabbage. The filling usually includes meat, often beef or pork, seasoned with onion, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and spices. Other fillings vary and may include mushrooms, vegetables, sauerkraut, rice, or barley and as only the largest leaves can be used as covering, the rest of the cabbage is usually mixed into the stuffing. Other ingredients may also be used. The filling is stuffed in cabbage leaves, which are tucked around it like an egg roll. It is simmered or steamed in a covered pot until cooked, and is usually eaten hot. In Finland they are normally baked in oven and are brushed with dark syrup and traditionally served with bitter lingonberry jam or fresh lingonberries.
Cabbage rolls are part of the traditional cuisine of many Central European, Eastern European, and Balkan countries. They are known as holubki in both Czech and Slovak, halubcy in Belarusian, sarmale in Romanian, golubtsy in Russian, holubtsi in Ukrainian, and gołąbki in Polish (the word literally means "little pigeons"). A common variation in Slovak, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian is halupki. In German respectively Austrian they are known as Kohlroulade or Krautwickel, in Serbian as Sarma and in Finland as kaalikääryle.
In order to get the cabbage soft enough to form into a roll, it may be pickled (to make "sour" cabbage rolls) or blanched (to make "sweet" cabbage rolls). A similar recipe, beet rolls, replaces the cabbage wrapping with beet leaves.

Not sure if Germany actually originated them...maybe they just perfected them?? Ha. Regardless, I do think they were originated somewhere in Eastern Europe. I am of German heritage, myself. My Grandmother and Mom have always made cabbage rolls. I've had them elsewhere, as well. And I have never seen them made with rice or potatoes. So just like most foods out there, I am assuming everyone puts their own twist on the recipe.

Well... don't know if Germany is the true origin of cabbage rolls, but I know my Mom made the best ones in the world and there was absolute no rice in it. Was a very nice and tasty minced meat mix inside she always spread some mustard on the cabbage before she rolled them up and we had them with a very nice gravy and mashed potatoes. Yummm just thinking about it makes me hungry.

I heard it was the Ukranians that did the first cabbage roll.
Rice and a little pieces of ham.

Answering this question means stereotyping. Some of the point may be true for some for some time. Not necessarily all points will be true for all women all time. Hence, it is a good question but respect Woman as she is is the answer.

My Hungarian grandma first made them for me, so that's the true origin for moi -- Eastern Europe.
