Currywurst: 800 Million
Served Every Year
The latest craze in Los Angeles is Currywurst.
Several places dedicated to this
German fast food icon have opened for the
hip crowd in L.A. We give you the Currywurst
right here in the O.C. in our Bierstube Restaurant
at the Phoenix Club. After several tastings
the “German Currywurst commission” of
the Phoenix Club voted and decided on the
most authentic and tasty version of our special
Phoenix Club Currywurst. And everyone
agrees that this is the best one you can get
anywhere. So give your tastebuds a treat and
try the famous German Currywurst at our
Club. And feel free to compare and let us
know what you think.
Currywurst is a fast-food dish of German origin
consisting of hot pork sausage (German:
Wurst) cut into slices and seasoned with curry
sauce (regularly consisting of ketchup or tomato
paste blended with curry) and generous
amounts of curry powder, or a ready-made
ketchup-based sauce seasoned with curry and
other spices. It is frequently served at Ger-
Yelp and

man ‘Imbissbuden’ and from food trucks.
The invention of Currywurst is attributed
to Herta Heuwer in Berlin in 1949 after
she obtained ketchup, Worcestershire
sauce and curry powder from British soldiers.
She mixed these ingredients with
other spices and poured it over grilled
pork sausage. Heuwer started selling the
cheap but filling snack at a street stand
in the Charlottenburg district where it
became popular with construction workers
rebuilding the devastated city. She
patented her sauce, called Chillup, in
1951.
Today, Currywurst is often sold as a takeout/take-away
food, Schnellimbisse
(snacks), at diners or “greasy spoons,”
on children’s menus in restaurants, or
as a street food. Usually served with
french fries or bread rolls (Brötchen), it
is popular all over Germany but particularly
popular in the metropolitan areas
of Berlin, Hamburg and the Ruhr Area.
Considerable variation both in the type
of sausage used and the ingredients of
the sauce occurs between these areas.
An estimated 800 million servings are
sold in Germany each year.

Phoenix-Schützen
auf großer Fahrt
Wie auch im vergangenen Jahr schon unternahmen die
Schützen mit 34 Personen im März wieder eine Sieben-
Tage-Kreuzfahrt an die Mexikanische Riviera. Von Puerto
Vallarta, nach Mazatlan und Cabo San Lucas ging die Reise.
Mazatlan wurde wegen der Drogenprobleme und den
damit verbundenen Risiken ausgelassen.
Langeweile gibt es auf keinem Schiff
und das Freizeitangebot reichte
von Games, Gymnastik, Pools, Shows,
Musik, Tanz, Gambling, Kunstauktionen,
Kino bis hin zum Essen in vielen
verschiedenen Restaurants. Wer nicht
mindestens fünf Pfund zugenommen
hat, ist selber schuld. Auch unsere
Kartenspieler kamen auf ihre Kosten.
Am 26. März gaben unsere zwei scheidenden
Ritter H.-G. Teepe und Joe
Selcho zusammen eine Ritterparty in
der Jägerstube. Für das leibliche Wohl
sorgte ein exzellentes Buffet aus der
Phoenix Club Küche. Es war auch schön
unser Ehrenmitglied Adolf Koch zu begrüßen.
Auch unser ältester Schütze
Felix Oramas war gekommen. Im Mai
feiert er seinen 97. Geburtstag. Es ist
üblich, dass die Schützen für den Ti-
tel des Schützenkönigs,
des ersten
und dem zweiten
Ritters schießen.
Der neue König
mit Gefolge
wird beim Proklamationsdinner am
15. Mai bekanntgegeben.
Das Schießen erfolgt immer früh morgens
am Mai- und Kinderfest. Danach
wird mit den Kindern gebastelt, es
werden gewöhnlich Vogelhäuschen
zusammen genagelt und unsere Damen
lassen sich jedes Jahr etwas
Neues einfallen.
Am zweiten und dritten April feiern
die Phoenix Schützen in San Jose
Schützenfest mit den Germania
Soccer Tournament for the 46th B.R.D. Wanderpokal on May 28-29
On May 28 and 29, 2011, many soccer
teams will compete for the B.R.D.
Wanderpokal at Katella High School
in Anaheim. Buffet Dinner Tickets are
still available for $40.00 each.
The Phoenix Club of Anaheim is proud
to host the 46th annual Wanderpokal
Soccer tournament during the Memorial
Day weekend, May 28/29, 2011.
Charter members of this tournament
are invited to participate. The three
age categories will be over 35 years of
age (born on or before 1976), 45 years
Schützen und am 21. und 22. Mai in Las
Vegas bei den Schützen Liesels.
Das Schützenfest der Phoenix Schützen
findet am 11. und am 12. Juni statt,
ebenfalls mit Besuchern von befreundeten
Schützenvereinen. Der scheidende König,
Harold Wurmnest, lädt zu einer Party am
10. Juni ein. Ein Datum für das Schützen-
Picknick, wahrscheinlich wieder im “Wedding
Garden“, steht noch nicht fest. Danach
gibt es eine kleine Pause bis zu den
Oktoberfesten.
Gut Schuss, Hans Lietz
of age (born on or before 1966), over 55
years of age (Born on or before 1956), over
60 years of age (born on or before 1951).
