The German Currywurst Museum promises its visitors exciting scenes and a glimpse of history - combined with information about recipes, ingredients and origin.

The stage is set for the most diverse aspects of the popular Currywurst, of which around 800 million portions are consumed in Germany every year. As an urban snack with a cult following, the "curried fried sausage" has many friends and fans who have a word to say about it in the exhibition's photo and audio documents.

Starting this summer, the German Currywurst Museum will welcome locals and visitors to Berlin under the address Schutzenstrasse 70. The multi-media monument to Germany's traditional snack creation is under construction in direct proximity to Checkpoint Charlie. The representative exhibition covers an area of 1.100 square metres including catering and shop.

The Currywurst's relation to Berlin, Germany and the world are a further topic, as well as its origin and tradition in close connection to the particular situation in Berlin at the end of the 1940s. Information all around the composition and level of finesse of its individual ingredients, a collection of curiosities, and the Currywurst in TV and movies complete the exhibit. Children can discover facts which have been specially adapted for them.

Threedimensional installations and classic exhibits are intended to playfully arouse enthusiasm for the internationally known item of German food culture. Media installations create an interactive environment to activate all senses and carry visitors away to the world of Currywurst.

On 1.100 square metres of space, the exhibition, the shop and the Currywurst snack lounge are under construction. Up to 200 persons can visit the exhibition simultaneously, with opening hours from 10 am to 10 pm. Admission fees will range between EUR 7.- and EUR 10.-, with free admission for children below age 6.

Competent museum contacts will provide support for planning special event tours, information on offers for groups and companies, and up-to-date details concerning forthcoming events. Further, the event area represents an extraordinary venue for business events, incentives or presentations.
