Döllbergfest in Suhl: Bratwurst king is fun despite fewer guests!

in Suhl was celebrated on June 18, 2025, the Döllberg Festival, which had fewer visitors than in the previous year, still created a happy atmosphere. The muggy temperatures probably pulled out some celebrations, and the large number of local events could also have steamed the visitor buoyancy. Nevertheless, those present were in a good mood, especially at the grill, where the families juice and Heydenbluth enriched the festival culinary. The highlight of the event was the visit to the bratwurst king Norbert Abt, who, with his specialty, the bratwurst liqueur, tickled the taste buds of the visitors.

The 11th Franconian Bratwurst summit, which took place on June 1, 2025 in Pegnitz, offered a completely different picture in the picturesque Wiesweiherpark. Magnificent 13,000 visitors flocked there to enjoy the variety of sausages. Six local butchers presented their best creations in the categories "creative" and "classic". Dirk Freyberger from Nuremberg was able to look forward to the title of the bratwurst king after taking second place in both categories, which earned him the overall victory. [Br.de] (https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/bratwurstkoenig-aus-mittelfranken-kreidigt-Krone ,UccwfPW) reports that the Kachler-Hoferer landmaster from Sugenheim was distinguished for its "Meat Night-Bratwurst" with Blaumohn, Chili, Fresh Paprika and Bergkäse.

variety and tradition in the bratwurst

What makes a good bratwurst? The various recipes and variations were impressively presented at the sausage summit. The Deininger butcher from the market of a home won with its "winemaker bratwurst" in the "Classic Bratwurst" category. Visitors could not only enjoy tasty sausages during the event, but also culinary alternatives such as vegan dishes and regional pastries. The bands "Die Zührigen" and "Play Again Sam", which provided the best entertainment, delivered background music.

The celebrations around the bratwurst show how deeply rooted the butcher tradition in Bavaria and Franconia is. The commitment of butchers, such as the Hümmer from Ebern, which was first represented for the first time, which presented the "horny Keiler", illustrates the constant exchange and the innovative strength in the industry. Marco Brückner from the butcher's shop of the Edeka freshman Wagner from Coburg was even honored for his excellent performance as a "Franconian Bratwurst King 2025". In 2025, the summit also sets this success and the thirteen participating butchers as the goal of promoting the local economy and preserving the traditional recipe of the bratwurst, such as Metzger-suche.de.

Overall, both the Döllberg Festival and the Bratwurst summit show the close connection between people with their culinary roots, and that the bratwurst is more than just a piece of meat - it is a piece of culture and tradition!
