The intangible UNESCO world cultural heritage
Whether it's crispy Bosna, classic bratwurst or spicy currywurst: at Bitzinger in Vienna, it's all about the sausage - and our customers can taste it in every bite, because our sausage stands only serve the best. The speciality: every sausage was personally developed by Sepp Bitzinger. Our tip: the original Wiener Käsekrainer. Enjoy your meal!
Since 2024 it is official: the Viennese sausage stand culture has been part of the intangible UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. All the more reason to enjoy our specialities at the Albertina, in the Prater or online!
Original Viennese specialities
The Bitzinger family can look back on a long tradition in the catering industry as sausage stand operators. Bitzinger has been running the sausage stands at the Albertina since 1999 and at the Giant Ferris Wheel in the Prater since 2009. In addition to classics such as bratwurst, Käsekrainer, Burenwurst, Sacherwürstl and Waldviertler, we also serve hot dogs, Bosna and fiery Teufelsgriller.
Our recommendation: the original Bitzinger Käsekrainer!
A place of cosiness and hospitality
In addition to the famous sausage stands, we welcome our guests to the Augustinerkeller!
The Augustinerkeller is located in the heart of Vienna, nestled within the historic walls of the Hofburg and deeply rooted in the city's culture. Founded in 1924 and an integral part of Viennese life ever since, the Augustinerkeller has been a place where tradition and hospitality go hand in hand for decades. After extensive renovations, it reopened its doors in 2024 - with a fresh concept that combines old and new in an impressive way.
