Sliced bratwurst topped with curry-spiced tomato sauce, served with fries or a roll. The classic Munich after-midnight street snack, born in 1949 Berlin and adopted across every German city since.
Currywurst was invented in Berlin in 1949 by Herta Heuwer; the Munich version arrived in the post-war years and became a staple of the city's late-night Imbiss scene by the 1970s. Bergwolf in Glockenbachviertel is the city's most-cited counter, with weekend hours until 04:00 and a vegan option on the carte since 2010.
