The local butcher and deli has everything you can imagine in the way of meat and sausages. Try the “grobe Bratwurst” and the “Thueringer Bratwurst”. They are both two of our favorites and perfect for a little BBQ on a nice summer evening.

About German Butchers

Although supermarkets are popular, many Germans still prefer to shop for meat, bread, pastry, fruit and vegetables in specialty shops: the butcher, the baker, the green grocer and other specialized types of stores.

Germans have no tradition for sandwich shops, but you will find that German butchers sell quite nice take away food and are serious competition for the fast food chains. Even the smallest bakery will sell many sorts of bread or rolls, most of them darker (for example, using whole wheat or more rye flour) than the white bread popular around the world and definitely worth a try. Butchers typically open very early (e.g., after 7 a.m.) to allow you to buy items for your breakfast before going to work. Most butcher stores are closed on Sunday, so make sure you buy your meat on Saturday for the weekend.

The German terms for “butcher” and “butcher shop” are regional. Metzger tends to be used more in southern Germany, while Fleischer is more common in the north. The official term for the trade is Fleischer. Older, rarely used terms are Fleischhacker, Fleischhauer and Schlachter.

Here are some useful German words and expressions (along with the English translation) that come in handy when buying sausages or meat at the local butcher store:

der Fleischer - the butcher

die Fleischerei - butcher shop

beim Fleischer - at the butcher's

der Metzger - the butcher

die Metzgerei - the butcher shop

beim Metzger - at the butcher's

der Fisch - fish

das Fleisch - meat

das Rindfleisch - beef

das Geflügel - fowl

das Kalbfleisch - veal

der Schinken - ham

das Schweinefleisch - pork

die Wurst - sausage
