A currywurst with fries and a dollop of mayo in Dortmund is said to cost a whopping 9.30 euros. "Impudence! At this price, I'm not hungry!", one user could only think of it.

Inflation is also being felt in cafes and ice cream parlors. In Kassel, a scoop of ice cream costs almost two euros. The costs for food, personnel and energy have also become more expensive – and that is likely to be quite a bit in Dortmund's city centre.
