Würstelstand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Würstelstand
A Würstelstand (literally "sausage stand"; plural "Würstelstände") is a traditional Austrian street food retail outlet selling hot dogs, sausages, and side dishes.[1] They are a "ubiquitous sight" in Vienna.[2]
Würstelstände were initially created during the period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to provide a source of income for incapacitated former soldiers.[citation needed]
Not until the 1960s were the Würstelstände allowed to become stationary. Many of them can be found near transit hubs and around subway stations.[3]
