Can immigration authorities make cross checks between multiple passports of the same (German) person?

The tupple full name, date of birth, and country (which is present in both the passport and the id card) is usually unique to an individual 1.
If the border authority stores this data in a database along with entry date, they will notice the same person attempting to enter before the allowed time, even though the passport number and the id card number are totally different.
They don’t need access to the foreign issuing authority (Bewohneramt in this case) to do this, just to keep and check their own records.
Whether specifically Turkey actually does this, and also actively enforces it, is another question which I can’t answer.
1 In the cases it isn’t, people can often experience problems when dealing with bureaucracy.
Of course they can. And they have the right to do it.
Will they likely do it? That’s is another question.
