Debate of German countries that invented sausages Bratwurst

Red exploded between two German states, Bavaria and Turingia, about who can claim to invent Bratwurst sausage.

So far, the Wurstkuchl tavern in Bavaria claims to be “the oldest Bratwurst stand in the world.”

Die Wurstkuchl is located on the Stone Bridge in Regensburg on the Danube River. The oldest documented evidence of a cook or stall for food on the Stone Bridge is said that until 1378.

But now the historians in Erfurt, the capital of the Turing state, have come across a document of 1269, which mentions the people who have hired a building with a Brathütte booth and a frying pan – more than 100 years earlier than the Regensburg sausage booth.

Now historians are looking for the site in Erfurt, where the sausage stand was once standing. No restaurant there has stated the title of the oldest Bratwurst stand.

Previously, in Turingia, Bratwurst’s most written reference dates back to 1404. He described how “1 Groschen for Bratwurst Clistings” was spent in Arnstadt.

Meanwhile in Regensburg, Wurstkuchl continues to make its sausages.

On their websiteIt says that “a lot left the same” from the Middle Ages, with “open charcoal grill, home sausages made of pure pork ham, sauerkraut from their own fermentation cellar and the well -known mustard Wurstkuchl”.

In response to the report on a larger sausage booth, Wurstkuchl’s landlady Alexandra Mayer said on German television Br24: “To be honest, it doesn’t bother us at all.”

She said she was proud that her family is making sausages and that people come because of the quality of the products. “I don’t think people will say,” I don’t go there anymore, because it’s just the second oldest. “

This is not the first time you have had the order for Bratwurst.

The Bavarian cities of Regensburg and Nuremberg and both claimed the oldest sausage stand. In the end, a decision was decided in favor of Regensburg.
