Deutsches Currywurst Museum

Deutsches Currywurst Museum, Food museum in Berlin, Germany.

The Deutsches Currywurst Museum occupied Schützenstraße 70 in Berlin-Mitte, near Checkpoint Charlie. Inside, visitors followed a "sauce trail" through five themed areas, including a walk-in replica of a snack stand seen from the vendor's side, a spice chamber with sniffing stations, a sausage-shaped sofa and audio stations playing currywurst songs. A red truck-shaped vehicle with a silver tank body and a "Currywurst Museum" panel stood as a photo motif.

The museum opened in 2009 near Checkpoint Charlie and closed permanently in December 2018. The exhibition honored Herta Heuwer, who invented currywurst in 1949 by combining ketchup with curry powder.

The museum traced currywurst's place in everyday life: a rebuilt snack stand let visitors see the museum from a vendor's side, a Berlin map marked stands such as Curry 36 and Konnopke's Imbiß, and a world map showed the dish's spread. A separate room was devoted to Herta Heuwer, credited with inventing currywurst in 1949.

The museum was centrally located in Berlin near tourist landmarks and easily reached by public transport. After its permanent closure in late 2018, the exhibition space is no longer accessible.

The museum's logo and signage used a truck-shaped currywurst stand, echoed in a red vehicle with a silver tank and a "Currywurst Museum" panel. Founder Martin Löwer got the idea in 2006 while visiting a yam-root museum in Jamaica, and 20 private backers raised five million euros to open it.
