DÄ BURGER
In our kitchen: smashing the patty, cheddar, caramelised onions, homemade sauce, lid on

Schaffhausen'sfirst smashburger

After the first bite

Fired up.

First the crust crackles, then the soft potato bun gives way. Juicy beef, melted cheddar, caramelised onions and our homemade sauce, all in the same bite – warm, sweet and salty at once. That moment is why we smash every patty by hand on a blazing hot plate.

Schaffhauser AZ burger test

First smashburger.First place.

The Schaffhauser AZ tested the burgers at five places in town. DÄ BURGER scored highest: 14 out of 15 points.

“Whatever ‘Dä Burger’ serves, it serves at the very highest level.”

  • “The meat tastes of good mince, with exactly the right touch of fat.”
  • “Of all the places that aren't fast-food chains, no burger lands on your plate faster than ‘Dä Burger’ […].”

History, rewritten.

1901

That winter, a young private tutor lives here: Albert Einstein. He teaches at Dr. Jakob Nüesch's private school and stays until the end of January 1902.

Today

Today the plate sizzles in the same building: Schaffhausen's first smashburger.

Detail of the plaque on our façade (in German): from December 1901 to the end of January 1902, the physicist and Nobel laureate Albert Einstein (1879–1955) lodged here while working as a private tutor at Dr Jakob Nüesch's school.
