BERLIN (Reuters) - A museum devoted to curry-flavored sausage, a popular snack known to Germans as currywurst, is set to open early next year in Berlin, the head of the museum said Thursday.

It was in 1949, in the post-World War II ruins of western Berlin's Charlottenburg district, that snack stand owner Herta Heuwer first sold her patented curry sausages.

The delicacy is typically served smothered in ketchup dusted with curry powder and sliced into bite-sized chunks that are eaten with a wooden or plastic fork.

"Currywurst is simply cool," museum director Birgit Breloh said at a news conference adding she was confident the museum would attract 350,000 sausage-loving visitors every year.

The museum will also highlight the historic connections between currywurst and the German capital.
