Bismarck herring – сельдь Бисмарка, маринованная сельдь (филе) The history of the original Stralsund Bismarck herring begins in the 19th century when the trader and brewer Johann Wiechmann established his fish cannery. In the backyard his wife Karoline aside other goods manufactured a specialty. She pickled fresh, filleted Baltic herring and dispatched it in small wooden barrels. Because Wiechmann much admired Otto von Bismarck he sent him a barrel of pickled herrings to his birthday. Bismarck expressed his thanks in a personal writing. On the occasion of the establishment of the German Reich in 1871 another barrel was sent to the Imperial Chancellor – this time together with a letter from Wiechmann. In this he “subserviently” asked for allowance to sell his pickled herring as Bismarck herring in future. In his reply Otto von Bismarck agreed and so the Bismarck herring from Stralsund was born.
