Police Called To Daimler AGM After Frankfurter Altercation
With the company announcing its highest share dividend ever, Daimler’s annual general meeting in Berlin on Wednesday should have been a celebratory occasion. However, it’s been overshadowed by a big row. About sausages.
12,500 Wiener Würstchen (also known as a Frankfurter) sausages were served at the event between 5500 shareholders, which equates to an average of about two per person. So, when one man decided to return to the buffet to wrap up a few more juicy sausages to take home, a female shareholder took exception. A shouting match ensued, and the row escalated to such an extent that the police were called to calm things down.
According to The Guardian, Daimler board chairman Manfred Bischoff said of the incident: “We had to call the police to settle the matter…We either need more sausages or we get rid of them altogether.”

“Frankfurter altercation” 😂😂
#sausagegate
In Germany, nothing’s a laughing matter.
Except Hitler.
No. really. The most popular movie in Germany for a while was “Look Who’s Back”, a film about Hitler waking up in modern day Germany. He decides to get back into politics, and so he runs for Chancellor.
All got money for endless Frankfurter & then argue about some single ones…
Wtf is going on?!
Reading this as a German. Its TOTAL LUSTIG!
Sehr lustig! Guten Tag! ;)
Apparently there weren’t enough sausages at that sausage party.
Unlike CT.
That’s the most german article ever
Was the Wurst thing they have ever published in my opinion, it made no Senf
This is what happens when you have a meeting and take your wiener out..
As far as I know Wiener Würstchen are not the same as Frankfurter. If you want to know the exact difference, ask wikipedia or a sausage expert.
