Wurstbrot Variations
While Wurstbrot is usually made with sliced bread, there are other cool versions!
Wurstbrötchen and Wurstsemmel
If you put the sausage on a bread roll instead of a slice of bread, it gets a different name. In northern Germany, it's called a Wurstbrötchen. In southern Germany, it's known as a Wurstsemmel. These are often sold at bakeries, butcher shops, or snack stands. Sometimes, they are decorated with sliced pickles, lettuce, tomato, or even Tartar sauce.
Leberkäsbrötchen: A Warm Treat
Another tasty variation uses a thick slice of a special baked sausage called Leberkäse. This is put on a roll and called Leberkäsbrötchen, Leberkäswecken, or Leberkässemmel. It's usually served warm and is very popular at snack shops, butcher stores, and public fairs. You can add mustard or ketchup to it if you like, but butter is usually left out.
