What the Austrians call FRANKFURTER WÜRSTEL (because they were invented by a butcher from Frankfurt in Vienna) is called WIENER WÜRSTCHEN in Germany (because they were invented in Vienna).

FRANKFURTER WÜRSTCHEN are something different: Sausage of pure pork in a casing of mutton's intestine with a special taste acquired by a special method of smoking the pork. These should not be cooked, might however be heated, but are in general not used for Hotdogs.
