VW currywurst celebrates the opening of the new sausage hall in Wolfsburg!
Wolfsburg, Deutschland - Volkswagen not only revolutionized the automotive industry, but also produced a culinary hit in the form of its legendary currywurst. The in -house sausage has been produced in the butcher's shop in Wolfsburg since 1973 and has now become an integral part of corporate culture. With its own article number - 199 398 500 A - the currywurst is almost a product in itself. Up to seven million sausages were discontinued annually, and it is not only offered in the factory canteens, but also as a souvenir during factory visits, such as news38 reported.
The sausage is highly valued in a new sausage hall, which was recently opened in Hall 50a. The hall is not only an exhibition space with historical pictures and old machines, but also a place where the handwritten original recipe from 1973 is kept in a safe. Only two people have the keys to this culinary treasure: Gastro boss Markus Greiner and Dietmar Schulz, the head of food production. In the Volkswagen cosmos, the currywurst recipe has reached the status of a cultural asset.from the workshop to the supermarket
From mid-June 2025, the VW currywurst will take a new step towards a wider public. Then it will be available as a finished dish for the microwave in selected supermarkets. First of all, the sausage lovers in northern and eastern Germany can strike at Edeka and Netto before a nationwide distribution is sought. The sausage has established itself as a real seller: in 2024 8.552 million pieces were sold, while only 5.2 million VW vehicles changed their owners, such as n-tv reported.
The ready-made sausage is a special feature, because it does not require the typical curry powder, which is often used as an additive. Instead, the spices are already integrated in the sausage and the associated ketchup. Before that, the sausage was only available in factory canteens and some supermarkets, where it had to be fried. An entertaining debate caused excitement in 2021 when the sausage was to be banished from the VW canteen-but this decision was reversed in 2023.
currywurst and history
The sausage has not only established itself in the VW culture, it also reflects the history of the company. VW has stood for innovative strength since the post -war years and has established itself as one of the most successful volume manufacturers worldwide. Since the 1970s, the company has started speed with flexible manufacturing systems and a new model generation, which also includes the Golf and the Scirocco. With a clear focus on electromobility and digitization, Volkswagen is ready for the future, while the currywurst still has a place in the hearts of people. Regardless of whether it will be visited in the Wurst-Halle or soon bought in the supermarket-the VW currywurst remains irresistible, as is the story of Volkswagen, as is to be read on Volkswagen Newsroom
