Just two more weeks and the Thuringian barbecue season will be opened with a celebration at the Cathedral Square in Erfurt! The three “originals” from the 1st German bratwurst museum, Propst Johann von Siebeleben, master`s butcher Huldreich Jacobi and journeyman Hans Wurst, are wearing their garp already – to ignite the bratwurst sausage fire at the museum in Holzhausen. A ceremony, which can not be taken seriously. But those guys always invent something new to promote Thuringias most delicious piece of culture.
On Wed 26th, they did the same for the festival at the Erfurt Cathedral Square. Everything will revolve around the sausage for the third time in a row – “Rusting Culture 2008 – Thuringia is glowing” on April 12th.
Better said, around the “Thuringian sausage” first mentioned in a Arnstädter abbey bill back in the year 1404 – and protected since December 2003 in Brussels. “In the past year, 33000 tons of those were produced!”, said Horst Schubert, managing director of the association “Thuringian / Eichsfelder sausage and meat”.

Even the Brotteroder are pleased with the additional Easter surprise. “People take their chances on our special sport offers. Usually you can`t do such things around this season, “said Dagmar Köllner, the managing director of the Inselberg tourism Inc.
