Historic Sausage Kitchen Guide
Wurstkuchl: A Taste of History in Every Bite Guide
Welcome to the Historische Wurstkuchl (Historic Sausage Kitchen), a Regensburg institution and one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants in the world! Nestled right on the banks of the Danube River, this charming little eatery offers a truly authentic Bavarian experience. Prepare to step back in time and savor the flavors of tradition. The Wurstkuchl's history stretches back over 500 years, originating as a construction kitchen during the building of the Stone Bridge in the 12th century. It began serving sausages to the workers and eventually evolved into the beloved restaurant it is today. The building itself has witnessed centuries of Regensburg's history, and the recipes have been passed down through generations, ensuring the same delicious taste that has delighted locals and visitors alike for centuries. A visit to the Wurstkuchl is a must for any food lover. The main attraction is, of course, the grilled sausages, cooked over an open charcoal grill. Order a "6er mit Senf" (six sausages with mustard) and enjoy them with sweet mustard and sauerkraut. The restaurant also offers other traditional Bavarian dishes and local beer. Be prepared for a casual, bustling atmosphere, often with a queue, but the experience is well worth the wait. The Wurstkuchl is more than just a meal; it's a taste of Regensburg's history and culture.
