Originally the historical Wurstkuchl was a small building attached to the city wall which during the construction of the Old Stone Bridge between 1135 and 1146 was used as a building office. Once the bridge was finished - in those days celebrated as the eighth wonder of the world - the office was closed and the small building became the "Garküche auf dem Kranchen", a kitchen providing slow-simmered meals for crane workers. The kitchen´s customers were dockers and builders hence the name "Kranchen" a former word for crane. There were plenty of dockers in those days as the wealthy tra-ding patricians of the free city of Regensburg used the port intensively for centuries as place of transshipment for goods from all over the world. The hungry workers however mainly came from the building site of the Regensburg cathedral. Exactly when the simmered meat in the "Garküche" was indeed replaced by finer sausages is not known. It is assumed that they were introduced by the pro-prietor Wolfgang Miezam towards the end of the 18th century.
