# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 973/2013 of 10 October 2013 approving a minor amendment to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Nürnberger Bratwürste/Nürnberger Rostbratwürste (PGI)), Division 5.1: Specificity of the geographical area

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The production of Bratwürste in Nuremberg is a centuries-old tradition which can be proved to go back to 1313. The typical reduction of the length and weight of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ can be traced back to at least 1573. Nuremberg’s location at the intersection of two important trade routes meant that oriental spices were available in Nuremberg for making sausages from an early time.
The current tradition of Bratwurst production in Nuremberg has an illustrious past. ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ were greatly appreciated by Goethe and Jean Paul, for example. The Bratwurst-Glöcklein in the St. Sebald area was one of the most famous public houses in 19th century Germany; not only was it open to aristocrats and plutocrats, but it was also an essential stop for every visitor to the city.
