Invention of fast food in Germany

Good old Europe! Now it‘s even claiming an American institution as its own invention. At the very least this claim involves a nice little story set in the Bavarian city of Regensburg. Located along the banks of the Danube River, this little gem is home to medieval architecture so stunning that its perfectly preserved Old Town has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Stone Bridge is believed to be the oldest bridge still standing in Germany. Just a stone‘s throw away from the bridge stands a culinary relic of sorts that has been described as „the oldest fast food joint in the world“. A café, now known as the „Sausage Kitchen“, is said to have opened on that very spot in 1146, just as the bridge was completed. Now, it‘s certainly a big hit with international tourists.
