On several occasions, Red Baron had reported on Freiburg's bratwurst scene on Freiburg's Münsterplatz. In 2010, wurst lovers had to bear a
wurst war that ended in 2012 with the
opening of a veggie wurst stand.
Now, I must tell you that last year the bratwurst scene suffered considerably, so three of the eight stands are presently missing. Well, the veggie dog vendors simply pause during the winter, but in October, butcher Dirr was struck by an explosion caused by a leaking gas bottle, which severely injured one saleswoman and destroyed his stand.

Following the sudden death of Freiburg's original among the wurst sellers, Paul Karle-Hämmerle, at the end of November, his immediate family announced that they would discontinue Paul's Imbiss* on Münsterplatz.

This apparently gave Dirr the idea to throw his towel, too. The investment in a new stand seemed too big.
Since a new public tender procedure for all vendors is due this year, we may soon see new faces selling wurst on Münsterplatz. Will there eventually be price competition? I doubt it.
