Overview

• Organizers set a symbolic boxing match for September 26 at the Bratwurstmuseum in Mühlhausen as part of the museum’s Bratwurstiade program.
• Amateur fighters Hasan Arli for Nürnberg and Kay Löwentraut for Thüringen will box five two‑minute rounds in a representative, tongue‑in‑cheek duel.
• Reported weigh‑ins list Löwentraut at just over 120 kilograms and Arli at about 92, a disparity highlighted in event promotions.
• The bout follows Erfurt researchers publicizing a 1269 charter referencing a hut and a bräter at the Krämerbrücke, presented as potential early evidence of a bratwurst stand.
• Historians note the document does not specify bratwurst and caution against definitive claims, while rival venues cite their own anchors, including Regensburg’s Wurstkuchl (1378) and Nürnberg’s Zum Gulden Stern (1419).
