Sparring Match: Bayern versus Thuringia - Deciding the Age-Old Champion of Pork Processing Plants

In an unexpected turn of events, a boxing match has been scheduled to take place on September 26 in the town of Mühlhausen, Thuringia. The unusual competition aims to settle a centuries-old dispute between Mühlhausen and Nuremberg over the title of the city with the oldest sausage kitchen in the world.

The dispute was sparked by new findings from Erfurt researchers, who claim to have discovered the earliest evidence of a sausage stand, dating back to 1269. The document mentioning the sausage stand was found by chance during research into the history of the Krämerbrücke. However, Nürnberg claims to have the oldest continuously operating sausage kitchen with a preserved house linked to historical records.

The fight will consist of five rounds, each two minutes long. Representing Mühlhausen will be Kay Löwenraut, a boxer weighing over 120 kilograms, which Thuringia hopes will give them an advantage. On the other side, Hasan Arli will represent Nuremberg.

The Sausage Museum in Mühlhausen has accepted the challenge, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. The museum, along with the town of Mühlhausen, is eager to prove the authenticity of their claim and secure the title of the city with the oldest sausage kitchen in the world.

Restaurateur Sofia Hilleprandt from Nuremberg is organising the boxing match, hoping to put an end to the long-standing dispute in a fun and entertaining way. The town of Erfurt, where the earliest evidence of a sausage stand was found, is also expected to be closely following the events.

As the date of the boxing match approaches, tension is growing, and both sides are training hard to secure victory. The fight promises to be an exciting event, not just for boxing fans, but also for history enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this unique competition.
