Marmalade
The term “marmalade” is usually applied to citrus preserves (like oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits). If you’re wondering why they didn’t just call them “citrus preserves”, it’s because of the French.
In jelly, the fruit contained is in the form of juice. Thus, the only thing “strawberry” in strawberry jelly is strawberry juice. That’s why it’s more gelatinous and easier to spread – it’s just goo (juice and pectin, technically).
In jam, the fruit contained is in the form of pulp. So, your grape jam actually does have some thoroughly smashed-up pieces of grapes.
In preserves, the fruit contained is in the form of larger chunks.However, it should be pointed out that, in many places, the differences between preserves and jam are negligible and the terms are often used interchangeably.

Berliner: Made Of Marmalade
A Krapfen aka Kreppel or Berliner is a traditional German pastry made from sweet yeast dough fried in fat, with a red marmalade filling and usually icing, powdered sugar or conventional sugar on top. They’re sometimes made with chocolate, champagne, custard, mocha, or egg liquor filling, or with no filling at all, but the red jam is traditional, usually raspberry or strawberry.
