Metzgerei Fruth

In 1896, Hans Fruth and his wife Babette opened the butcher’s shop on Leibnizstrasse/corner of Gibitzenhofstrasse in Nuremberg. Back then, it was one of the few houses in the barely developed Gibitzenhof district. Johann Fruth built the butcher’s shop mainly for the Siemens employees who settled in this new location. It started as an exclusive cattle butchery; later pigs, lambs, calves and poultry were also processed and sold there.

By now the business is in its 4th generation with Hans Fruth and offers high-quality delicacies ranging from meat to ready-made menus and desserts, fruits and vegetables. In addition to our normal range, we have also made organic sausages since 1998.

Our close ties to the Nuremberg Bratwurst

In the spring, Nuremberg Bratwursts are delicious with asparagus, in the summer as a barbecue, in the fall and winter with sauerkraut, mustard and horseradish. Young and old enjoy them as finger food at any time of the day or night. Nuremberg Bratwurst only tastes authentic when it is freshly made, which means raw, and roasted immediately. Whenever I think of the Christmas market, I think of the “3 im Weggla” – three sausages in a bread roll.
