Wurstbraten History
The event most often associated with Zion Lutheran Church in Walburg is Wurstbraten (German for "sausage fry"), which has been held the first Monday in November since 1971. Festivities begin the Saturday prior to Wurstbraten, when Zion members and guest of all ages gather at dawn to begin the sausage-making process. Long hours of preparing casings; cutting, weighing, and grinding meat; and stuffing and smoking sausage continue throughout the weekend and culminates on Monday with a delicious meal of sausage, side dishes, homemade bread, and desserts.
Wurstbraten, which began as a Zion fundraiser to raise funds for floor covering, has become so popular that nearly 4,000 meals are served each year! This growth not only provides funds for Zion's special needs, but it enables Zion Lutheran Church to make donations to the surrounding community as well.
Zion Lutheran Church and School extends an invitation to all to enjoy next year's Wurstbraten sausage supper (November 6th). Come, experience the tastes that have kept visitor's coming back year after year!!
