The popular “Würstelstand” or Vienna sausage stand is a place where many people converge to enjoy the delicious snack in Austria. It is now officially part of the country’s cultural heritage. Recently, the “Würstelstand” was added to Austria’s national list of cultural traditions, which is managed by the Austrian UNESCO Commission. The “Würstelstand” joins other famous places like Vienna’s wine bars and coffee houses in the list.
Traditional sausage stands started before World War I in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Back then, old soldiers opened small moving cooking stalls to earn money. At first, sausages were sold from small carts pulled by dogs or horses. Today, people from all walks of life converge at these stands. You might see a CEO, a celebrity, or a street sweeper enjoying a snack together.
Vienna Mayor Michael Ludwig said the UNESCO title honors the tradition, warmth, and diversity of the city. He added that the stands are more than just places to eat. They are part of Vienna’s intangible culture and gastronomy. Josef Bitzinger, who runs a famous sausage stand, said, “It brings people together.”
