Currywurst in Berlin Mitte, five minutes from the checkpoint
Currywurst belongs to Berlin like the Wall remains around the corner. We serve it hot from the counter, alongside beef bratwurst in a roll for €4.90 and a vegan version. Sit upstairs or take it with you.
Hot from the counter, not from the microwave
The sausages sit hot in the counter on the ground floor. Currywurst in slices with curry ketchup, beef bratwurst in a roll for €4.90, plus chicken schnitzel (€4.50) and chicken meatball (€4.50) in a roll. If you do not eat meat, take the vegan bratwurst.
Goes well with

- Freshly squeezed orange juice or a cola
- A beer afterwards on the terrace behind the building
