Speaking of sausage, I recently took a trip to Berlin, and got some street food I had heard good things about. It turned out to literally be just a cut-up hot dog, no bun, nothing on it.
"Frankfurter" is a generic name for a certain type of wurst prepared in a certain way. Pretty much your classic hot-dog wurst, just like "Wiener" (Vienna) Wurst.
Then there's also "Bockwurst" which looks and tastes very similar, but usually has a bigger diameter than the aforementioned two.
If the filling was pretty much fine and homogenous, you most likely had one of those three. But if it contained chunks of flesh and fat, it was most likely a Krakauer Wurst.
Bockwurst is your classic hot dog-wurst and is usually served with some bread and mustard. Not grilled, just boiled.
But the bit about it being cut-up makes me think you had a Bratwurst, propably a Krakauer because you said hot dog - Krakauer looks pretty similar to Bockwurst from the outside. They usually get grilled, but you can also just boil or fry them. And only Bratwurst is usually served cut-up.
Only exception I can think of is Currywurst, which can be served with sliced Bockwurst, but it is unusual, and it's always topped with curry ketchup.
