Overview
- For Nuremberg, amateur boxer Hasan Arli will face Thuringia’s Kay “Der Thüringer” Löwentraut in five two‑minute rounds at the Bratwurstmuseum in Mühlhausen on September 26.
- Restaurant owner Sofia Hilleprandt of Nürnberg’s Zum Gulden Stern proposed the bout, and the Bratwurstmuseum Mühlhausen accepted to represent Thuringian claims.
- Erfurt researchers reported a 1269 charter mentioning a hut and a “bräter” at the Krämerbrücke, which they say could indicate an early roasting site discovered during bridge research.
- Historians note uncertainties remain, including what exactly was roasted and the precise location of the referenced grill, and some caution against equating the terms directly with Bratwurst.
- Zum Gulden Stern cites a 1419 mention as a unique historical kitchen, while Regensburg’s Wurstkuchl points to a 1378 cook reference, reflecting long‑running rival claims.
