Germany, the land of poets and thinkers \u2013 and inventors? At least that’s the impression you can get if you take a closer look at some world-shaking inventions. Whether it’s Carl Benz and his automobile, Albert Einstein and the theory of relativity, or Felix Hoffmann and aspirin: it’s impossible to imagine the Federal Republic without a healthy inventive spirit. But these German inventions have to be made somewhere. We have compiled eight places in Germany where important inventions were made and which are still worth visiting today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berlin-Charlottenburg: Home of the Currywurst<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Numerous German cities still argue over this question today: Where was the currywurst<\/strong> first served? In the Ruhr area, people enjoy the snack that has become a way of life with pellet, in Berlin<\/a> brewed \u2013 without. For this Berlin scalded sausage, at least, the birth can be dated to September 1949. At that time, the snack bar owner Herta Heuwer<\/strong> mixed a sauce of paprika, paprika powder, tomato paste and various spices and served the result on a fried Br\u00fchwurst: the Currywurst. At that time, it was still called “Chillup” and was registered as a word\/figurative mark at the German Patent Office in 1959. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herta Heuwer enjoyed a long life and died in 1999 at the age of 86. She never passed on her recipe. True currywurst disciples can pay homage to the inventor at a commemorative plaque erected at the site of the former snack bar, at Kantstra\u00dfe 101<\/strong>. In addition, various currywurst tours are also offered in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
