1. Klopse, Konigsberg
This dish is named after Konigsberg, the former capital of eastern Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), and it is a delicious dish cooked with meatballs and sour beans dipped in cream white sauce. Meatballs are usually made of ground beef, onions, eggs, anchovies, peppers and other spices. The sour beans and lemon juice in the sauce give this dish a surprisingly elegant aftertaste. In East Germany, officials renamed the dish Kochklopse (boiled meatballs) to avoid being associated with the Soviet food of the same name. Now, you can find its traditional name in most German restaurants, but it is especially popular in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Mauertasen can be found everywhere in Germany (even frozen in supermarkets), but it is most common in the south. Delicious jiaozi has become so important here that in 29, the European Union (eu) recognized Maultaschen as a local specialty and listed it as an important cultural heritage of Baden-Wü rttemberg.
