Volkswagen currywurst

Volkswagen currywurst (pronounced [ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡn̩ ˈkœʁiˌvʊʁst]) is a brand of currybockwurst (German pronunciation: [ˈkœʁiˌbɔkvʊʁst]) made by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen since 1973 at the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant. It is sold at restaurants in its six German factories, as well as in supermarkets and at football stadiums – and given to Volkswagen customers. The bockwurst is humorously branded as a Volkswagen Originalteil (lit. 'Volkswagen Original Part'); its part number is 199 398 500 A.

The product has been described as the most-produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, with some 7 million sausages made in 2019 and 8.33 million in 2023. In many recent years, the company has produced more sausages than cars. Volkswagen also makes a ketchup, Volkswagen Originalteil 199 398 500 B, to accompany the currywurst – slightly more viscous than traditional ketchup. A pack of sausages and a bottle of ketchup retail for approximately €9. The factory also makes a wheat-based vegan version.
