Konnopke's Imbiss
Konnopke's Imbiß
A family-run snack stand under an elevated U-Bahn bridge, open since 1930, whose skinless currywurst is a Berlin benchmark.
Located under the U2 elevated bridge at Schönhauser Allee 44b in Prenzlauer Berg, this stand was opened in 1930 by Max Konnopke and has been family-run ever since, surviving the war, the GDR era, and reunification. Around 2010, it was rebuilt into a small enclosed kiosk due to bridge renovations, but its location remained unchanged. The signature dish is the skinless currywurst, served with a house-recipe sauce, and a vegan version is also available. It is mainly standing-room only, and a serving of sausage with fries costs about €5. Expect a queue of about 20 minutes during weekday lunch hours and on Saturdays. Get off at U2 Eberswalder Straße station and it is right there.
