What is this type of sausage called?



If possible, always write down which region you come from. There will definitely be regional name differences (like everything that has to do with food).

  1. There will be regional different names as those regional sausages will be different in taste, ingredients and how they were produced. This sausage could be anything if you dont add where its from. You can’t tell by the looks of it.

    The image you uploaded is from a store, selling Thüringer Knackwurst: [https://www.lzmechterstaedt.de/onlineshop/detail/thueringer-knackwurst-frisch/](https://www.lzmechterstaedt.de/onlineshop/detail/thueringer-knackwurst-frisch/)

  2. Where I come from this is called „grobe Bratwurst“ or „Hausschlachter Bratwurst“ or „Bratwurst Ring“

  3. In an area in Saxony-Anhalt between Halle and Sangerhausen (Mansfeld Südharz) they call it “Bratwurst”. And yeah I know it seems stupid but that’s what they call it.

  4. In eastern Thuringia we call that ‘Bratwurst’.

    ‘Knacker’ or ‘Knackwurst’ would be something similar but not in a ring but straight and much harder / dryer. If you keep a Bratwurst long enough in a dry place it will eventually shrivel into a Knackwurst.

  5. This could be a “Geräucherte Kohlwurst” (Smoked Kalesausage) as well. The one must have item for good Grünkohl ( Next to Rauchende and Luftgetrocknete Kohlwurst)

  6. Mettwürstchen or Mettenden. Just ate one, they are great 🙂

    I am from the Ruhrgebiet / Münsterland area.

  7. I Love that there are 1000 correct answers.

    Rote Wurst/Ahle Wurst is also a possibility. May also be Wo(r)scht instead of Wurst.

  8. Are you talking about the shape or the content/taste?

    People are giving you the names of types of Wurst that is sold in their region, and they will taste differently. Not like Spaghetti Alfredo is different in each restaurant, but like Spaghetti Alfredo and Spaghetti Bolognese are different.

    The word für the shape is wurst **im Ring**

  9. Das ist eine Art von “Geräucherte Hatwurst” oder eine “Rohwurst” würde ich tippen

  10. Not sure if it’s exactly the same, but I think I’ve seen them being called Polnishe Wurst or Krakauer in Berlin. Google give some similar ones by searching Krakauer im Ring.

  11. In Thüringen or northern Hessen, it’s also called “ahle woscht”, which means ‘old sausage’.

    It’s air dried, not smoked.
