It has been specially produced in Aachen for centuries. It refers to the use of intricately carved and printed wooden models used in the manufacture of the 15th century. The dough was entered and pressed into the later created bread introduced in the 19th century. Only the Printen, produced according to a new recipe from 1820 in the city of Aachen, is considered the original Aachen Printen and is certified by the European Union as a product with a protected geographical indication. The reputation is based on the skill and experience of the Aachen butchers and is linked to the objective qualities of the product, namely the highly acclaimed special flavor imparted to the sausage by the addition of cream and the use of a Christmas spice mix.

The reputation of the product is evidenced by the appearance of quality competitions and ceremonies in the local and national press, television and radio at the beginning of each season. Like the 'Aachener Printen' gingerbread biscuits, the 'Aachener Weihnachts-Leberwurst' is one of the cornerstones of Aachen's culinary identity. It is also offered for sale at the city's Christmas market, where it is particularly popular. With an authentic taste, this product is a high-quality snack often consumed at Christmas. And because it contains a Christmas spice blend, it increases the value of the product in the eyes of consumers. It derives from the city's tradition of making and selling the product only during the Christmas season and the special ingredients that make it part of the Christmas tradition.
