Eckert's Currywurst
Patron: Angelika Schelling
Eckert's Currywurst on Wilmersdorfer Straße is a traditional snack bar that shows that even classics could do with a new twist every now and then.

Eckert’s Currywurst, the last of its kind on Wilmersdorfer Straße, stands like a monument from times gone by - unimpressed by the changes in the city and firmly rooted in its place. For decades, this snack bar has been supplying the neighborhood with Berlin snack classics, but the glory of the early days has faded a little. If you stand in front of the corner snack bar, in the immediate vicinity of Rogacki, you will find yourself in a relaxed atmosphere where it seems as if time has stood still - matching the staff, who steadfastly refuse to give in to the hectic rhythm of the big city and serve their guests in peace and quiet.
The preparation of the currywurst lacks some of the love and dedication to this unique culinary delight: Already fully fried, the sausages are left to rest and are briefly warmed in a grease tray when ordered. It may also be due to this preparation that the culinary difference between the currywurst with and without casing is a real surprise. Because here the result is of unparalleled uniformity - an art that one would not necessarily expect.
What reaches the palate is correspondingly disappointing: the currywurst has lost all flavor due to this type of preparation. What remains is a bland, monotonous mass whose dry texture has little in common with the juicy spiciness of a good currywurst. On the other hand, the sauce can score points, at least in part: The ketchup has a pleasant, fruity sweetness that enhances the overall picture somewhat. Overall, the taste experience unfortunately remains pale and lacks the passion that you would expect from a traditional snack bar in this location.
And so Eckert’s Currywurst on Wilmersdorfer Straße remains a one-off that stubbornly holds its place between tradition and oblivion. But for true currywurst lovers looking for Berlin’s snack classics, a visit is perhaps more of a reminder that even the best traditions could sometimes do with a breath of fresh air.
