History
Over 690 years old: The first evidence of the Nürnberger Bratwurst dates back to the year 1313. It was in this year that the "Bratwurstglöcklein," a local kitchen dedicated to producing Nürnberger Bratwurst, was built. By 1462, more butchers began to produce the Nürnberger Bratwurst. These butchers had to present their bratwurst to experts, who checked the sausages for ingredients, form, quality, and water content, to make sure that all the sausages met the minimum standards. By the 16th century, butchers could no longer afford to produce the Nürnberger Bratwurst because the market price of the bratwurst sank greatly. However, the creative locals came up with a solution: make the bratwurst small and thin. Butchers were able to sell more this way, thereby staying in business.
