Bratwurstmuseum
About This Museum
Tucked away in Mühlhausen, this is a place that wholeheartedly celebrates Germany's most beloved sausage. It’s a wonderfully niche tribute to the history and craft of the Thuringian bratwurst, going all the way back to its first documented mention in 1404. You'll find everything from antique butcher's tools and historic recipes to quirky advertising posters. The entire experience is surprisingly engaging and filled with charming details that bring this culinary icon to life.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is arguably the 'Anno 1404' exhibit, which delves into that first known recipe. Don't miss the collection of vintage mincing machines and cast-iron grills, or the displays showing how regional spice blends create distinct flavors.
Visitor Information
