Countries are not "responsible" when one person invents something.
When Johannes Gutenberg was alive he lived in Mainz, in what is now known as Germany (But he would not have understood if you called him a "German".) but weas then part of the Holy Roman Empire.
Certainly a western idea that movable type or even metal movable type was invented by Gutenberg. He may have invented a useable and practical application for movable metal type with Latin letters as the basis for printing but China was using movable wooden block characters hundreds of years prior to Gutenberg and tin movable blocks were used by Korean printers before him too.
