history
The butcher champion Carl Heinrich Mierisch was mid-19th century the tenant Kamenzer food stall . There he created the recipe for Gamenzer Gnackwärschdl , which he first offered for sale at the Kamenz Forest Festival in 1859. During the GDR era , the proportion of more expensive beef was reduced; the ratio to pork was usually 1: 1. In addition, the more expensive cheesecloths were dispensed with in favor of the cheaper pig intestines. After the fall of the Wall in 1989 , the original recipe was used again. Since more and more butchers, also outside of Kamenz, were producing sausages and the recipe was partially changed, the Kamenzer Butchers Association had the recipe and the Kamenz sausage brand legally protected in 2009 .
