Stuffed Cabbage Charlemagne (Krauterroulade Karl Der Grosse) is a German dish that originated in the 9th century, during the reign of Charlemagne, and is believed to have been one of his favorite meals. It is essentially a cabbage roll filled with a mixture of ground pork, minced beef, and spices that is cooked in a rich broth until perfectly tender. The dish gets its name from the Frankish king Karl der Grosse, who was also known as Charlemagne. It is a classic dish that is still popular today, particularly during the winter months when hearty, warming meals are preferred.
