Die Ursprünge der Currywurst sind vällen Legenden umwoben. The berühmtest under the last time in Berlin-Charlottenburg was launched: On September 4, 1949 soll Herta Heuwer an ihrem Imbissstand aus Langeweile a new Rezeptur testet et haben, bei der sie Tomatenmark, Worcestershiresoße, Currypulver and other Gewürze miteinander vermischte. Die Soße goss über a roasted and small geschnittene Brühwurst.

Other reports are that the Heuwer needs a Senf-Engpasses improvisation and thus a new Soße-kreierte. Egal, nun genialer Einfall uit Langeweile or Notlösung: Die Soße wurde zu een weltweiten Exportschlager.

Will there be an accident in Hamburg for the Erfindung der beühmten Soße?

Berlin bean harvest the discovery of the currywurst every day falls for itself and honors Herta Heuwer as the discoverer. “I have the patent, enough!”, the deceased Imbissbezitzer in 1999 would have said. It is not that the uniqueness of the company is not patented, but the infringement of the strong secrets of the research is not so easy.

Stattdessen reported on 21 February 1958 that a patent had been granted for the mark “Chillup” – a combination of “Chilli” and “Ketchup”. On 21 January 1959, “Chillup” was entered in the Register as a word and picture mark under number 721319.
