Description
The Deutsches Currywurst Museum is a museum in Berlin dedicated to the German sausage currywurst.
The museum is located in Berlin Mitte near Checkpoint Charlie and is the first and only museum about currywurst. The museum receives approximately 350,000 visitors annually.
History
The museum opened on August 15, 2009, 60 years after the invention of currywurst in 1949 by Berliner Herta Heuwer. Museum founder, Martin Löwer came up with the idea for the museum during a holiday trip to Jamaica. There he visited an exhibition about the yam root and started thinking about what food type would be as popular in Berlin. Löwer considered the currywurst to possess "cult status" in Germany and used the sausage's fame as justification to create the museum.
Exhibit
Patrons follow a "sauce trail" through the history of currywurst. The museum is highly interactive, with exhibits and displays aimed at engaging the senses of sight, smell, and sound. Highlights include a spice chamber with sniffing stations, a sausage-shaped sofa, audio stations playing currywurst-themed songs, and a virtual currywurst making game called "Curry Up!" The museum also has special installations at children's eye-level.
