Tucked under the Magistrate's Viaduct in Schönhauser Allee since Max Konnopke moved to Berlin there is probably no more iconic eatery in the capital than Konnopke's Imbiss, the East Berlin stand surviving a World War, communism and reunification while serving up what is arguably the best Currywurst in town. Begun with just Sausages in 1930, Currywurst becoming a focus one year later with Ketchup not offered till 1960, those visiting Konnopke's Imbiss can expect long lines of folks entering or exiting the U-Bahn with folks from Prenzlauer Berg wait for tables alongside tourists from around the world. No frills and fast-paced, elderly clerks moving the queue like a well-oiled machine, choices are made from mounted menus with €2,50 yielding a steamed and fried Pork Sausage sliced and covered with spicy Ketchup plus a shake of Curry Powder on top. Juicy underneath a snappy Casing, the same to be said of a traditional Brat and Veal-based Bockwurst, fans of Mustard will find Konnopke's more spicy than average while Fries cooked crisp and almost oilless are only €1 but generally in need of some extra Salt.

Vegan Currywurst

This place is a famous currywurst stand under the Magistrate's Viaduct in Schönhauser Allee. I don't want to miss out on this experience. I was lucky enough to come early during lunchtime and bought Vegan Currywurst. The price was low compared to other currywurst places. TBH it was not bad at all. I thought it would taste bad, but it surprisingly tasted good. I have dietary restrictions, and I like it when a restaurant does have other options than meat. You should get some of the merch if traveling since they exclusively sell it in the restaurant/stand. But if you love sausages, this place is must visit next time you visit Berlin or even for the locals.

Let's not over glamorize what currywurst is. It's a hot dog cut into small pieces, then topped with Heinz ketchup and curry powder sprinkled on top. It's not a real complex thing and it is a strange meal for Berlin to take ownership over. That being said, it is good for what it is as long as you are not expecting something mindblowing. The sausage usually comes with fries with a big helping of ketchup and mayo on top. It fills you up and is a nice snack to pair alongside some brewskies.

Having never been to Berlin but knowing all there is about currywurst (what can I say? I love sausages!) I was sent here by a native Berliner. Located under the U-Bahn, this food stand was established in 1913 and is known as a Berlin institution: always a long line, the ladies operate the place like a well-oiled machine and speak to you in German. Minimal English except for mayo and ketchup so bust out the sign language! ;-) If there is a language we yelpers know, it's the language of food. Their fries are golden yellow and crispy, while the sausages are fresh and plump. Make sure to dump curry ketchup (and mayo!) on it. It was the perfect cheap snack to fill our bellies with, before the beer drinking that ensued at Pratergarden nearby.

Unlike some of the other Currywurst places I visited in Berlin, I had to make a farther, specific trip out to this one. Other than it being a couple train rides away from where I was staying, the location relative to the train station is convenient. You do have to take a couple of crosswalks just to make it to the stand, which sits directly under the elevated tracks. In this dark area, Konnopke's is the shining light. Also of convenience to you are English menus posted around the tables so you won't have to struggle so much when deciding what to get. I ordered what I've gotten everywhere else: Currywurst & Pommes (fries) and added a local Pils to drink. The gentleman taking my order was nice and was the one who came out to bus the tables and check on guests in the tent. The tent seating is a nice shelter from the rain/wind with better lighting than outside. The food didn't let me down, and the prices were reasonable. Worth the extra trip!

Currywurst is tradition. Invented 1949 in Berlin by Herta Heuwer, this sausage topped with a curry sauce made its way around the world. Good job, Herta. When Berlin got parted in 1961, both East and West had their own favorite Currywurst stand. West-Berlin had its Curry 36 in Kreuzberg. For the East, Konnopke's was the Currywurst to-go place. Most of its rustic charm is still alive. Located under the elevated subway tracks in the middle of Schönhauser Allee it can be windy and grim. The stand with its yellow-ish metal panel looks outdated. And the ladies working there rarely speak English. But just order "eine currywurst mit brot", pay 2.20 Euro, and enjoy. You'll also experience a piece of Berlin history.

Oh, how I miss this Imbiss! Is it wrong of me to fantasize about eating a Konnopke's Currywurst while I'm eating Currywurst elsewhere? I'd like to think not, because in my humble opinion, no other place in the world rivals the Currywurst at Konnopke's. Their plump and succulent Wursts are sliced up and covered in Konnopke's special spicy curry-ketchup. A side of hot, crispy Pommes Frites topped with the optional mayonnaise pairs well. Oh, and don't forget the beer! A Currywurst meal isn't complete without a cold, refreshing German beer. Now, Guten Appetit! I've eaten at Konnopke's before and after its renovation. The results of its make over are a brand spankin' new exterior and murals painted alongside the stand, as well as additional shaded dining areas --- no longer do you have to eat your food inside tents. Konnopke's should be a stop on every traveler's list if they plan on visiting Berlin, because a visit to Berlin without trying Currywurst is incomplete. Give this savory Berlin street eat a shot, and make sure you do it at Konnopke's.

Currywurst

In Berlin I discovered I really just don't like Currywurst. It's basically a hotdog chopped up and covered in ketchup and a little curry powder. Gross. Of the two stands I got, this was significantly worse. The meat tasted cheap and flavorless. That's all you really need to know. Don't come here just because it's iconic. There are better currywurst joints around town.

I do think that this is the best Currywurst in Berlin... the skin was crispy and the sausage was yummy and crunchy. they also have a very nice seating area and it has been serving yummy currywurst for ages! I am a fan :)

Bratwurst, bockwurst, roll and large fries

The ultimate Berlin locale for currywurst, which much as I try, I just can't enjoy. But lucky for me, Konnopke's also has some damn fine brats and fries. Situated right under the U-Bahn, this place has been an institution for well over 80 years. It may look like a snack bar, but the staff are well dressed and they take the business of sausages seriously. Like the best of Berlin, a full meal is dirt cheap. I'd be astounded if you could even top 5 EUR for a sausage, beer and side of fries. Oh, and for the love of Brussels, get mayo on your fries and skip the ketchup! (it's not Heinz anyway) :)

Perfection!
Christopher H.

The currywurst here is so incredible it's hard to describe! I've been to other places around Berlin, but only Konnopke's currywurst makes my eyes roll back into my head with sausage induced euphoria! I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Konnopke's currywurst is one of the most delicious things in existence. Other things that are good here: The fries are delicious, especially with mayonnaise. The grog is really good, get it from the weird guy in the far right window.

We had no idea this is a famous spot, but it appeared to be! Great place for a beer and wurst if you might walk by!
