German Brothers is a family-owned German food and cultural brand founded by brothers Daniel and Michael Korger. We bring German food, drinks, sweets, and the atmosphere of a traditional German market to communities in America.
German Brothers is currently based in Chicago and appears at seasonal markets and cultural events throughout the Chicago area. You can find our current locations and upcoming events on our Markets & Events page.
German Brothers is primarily a seasonal business, with a strong focus on the fall and winter market season. Our schedule can vary depending on the markets and events we are part of.
We are best known for our German bratwurst, traditional German-style specialties as Potato Pancakes, warm apple cider, signature hot chocolate, chocolate-covered fruit, and other market favorites.
Our bratwurst is inspired by traditional German recipes and is one of the things German Brothers is known for.
Best Brat in Town. That’s the claim we’re proud to put our name behind.
Our seasonal favorites include warm apple cider and signature hot chocolate — perfect for enjoying while walking through a winter market.
For many visitors, German Brothers has become part of their holiday tradition. They come back for the food, the atmosphere, and the familiar feeling of enjoying a German market with family and friends.
We love being part of those traditions and creating something people look forward to each season.
