Top 5 currywurst spots in Berlin

Where do you get the best currywurst in Berlin? On the hunt for my new BertaBerlin maps, I come across some nice currywurst spots in Berlin. There is even a museum in Berlin dedicated to the history of currywurst, with a lot of tasting samples ;). Currywurst is steamed and fried pork sausages cut into small pieces. Then topped with a sweet curry ketchup and a sprinkle of curry spice. Most likely Herta Heuwer is the inventor of the currywurst. She used ingredients given to her by British soldiers, for this delicious 1949 Berlin creation.

Thank you to my dear co-writer Paulina Czujko, who helped me scouting and writing this piece! I met her in Berlin on one of my KiezWalks, because she studied Nutritional Sciences here, but in September she will be my base in Hamburg and open the Hot Yoga Studio 'Hot Yoga Norderstedt'.
