Festival organizers said it took nearly 3,700 gallons of oil to fry the massive meat.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to verify the schnitzel's measurements and certify that it broke the previous record of 1,212.5 pounds.
The schnitzel was officially certified as the world's largest before being split into 4,800 portions and sold to attendees at the festival. Organizers said proceeds from the sale of the record-breaking dish will be donated to charity.
