Several museums are indeed dedicated to gastronomy and its ingredients, starting with the famous Schokoladen Museum in Cologne.
Set on the banks of the Rhine, this fascinating museum reveals every secret of chocolate and offers the chance to taste various specialties. Those who prefer candies can visit the Bonbon-Museum in Vaihingen/Enz, near Heilbronn, where the Jung company displays boxes, advertisements, machinery, and all kinds of bonbons; there is also a shop selling candies and gummy bears.
Equally sweet is the Zucker Museum in Berlin; it is the oldest museum in the world specializing in sugar and illustrates every aspect, from the cultivation of sugarcane and beets to the history and use of sugar in cooking and medicine. Meanwhile, in the German capital, the first museum entirely dedicated to Currywurst, the curry sausage beloved by many Berliners, is about to open. In Thuringia, for several years now the Deutsches Bratwurstmuseum in Holzhausen has been attracting many admirers of the region’s succulent grilled sausages.
