The word Franglais was first attested in French in 1959, [3] but it was popularised by the academic, novelist, and critic René Étiemble in his denunciation of the overuse of English words in French, Parlez-vous franglais? published in 1964. [4] Earlier than the French term was the English label Frenglish, first recorded in 1937. [5]
This is a list of German words and expressions of French origin. Some of them were borrowed in medieval times, some were introduced by Huguenot immigrants in the 17th and 18th centuries and others have been borrowed in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Frankish; Old Franconian, Old Frankish *Frenkisk Native to: Francia: Region: Western Europe: Ethnicity: Franks: Era: Gradually evolved into Old Low Franconian and the Old High Franconian dialects (Rhine Franconian, East Franconian and Central Franconian) by the 9th century, [1] [2] which dissolved with other West Germanic varieties into Old High German, and influenced Old French as a superstrate.

Also, your comment about things that are "borrowings from American English, and thus represents an example of Franglais" is off—there is a clear distinction between borrowings and Franglais; in fact, in a way they are opposites: Franglais consists of substitutions that are *not* loanwords (like all of the examples you sourced).
