Vienna sausage stands push for UN recognition

Heaving with bratwurst and meaty delicacies, Vienna's popular sausage stands are a beloved cultural landmark.

The owners of 15 stands are applying for Vienna sausage stand culture to be recognized as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO, aiming to create a quality seal and unite the stands under one association to preserve their historical significance.

Despite rising costs affecting restaurants, sausage stands remain popular due to their affordability, offering meals for less than 10 euros, which is crucial for many customers who have less to spend on dining out.
