Lauge can be bought at an Apotheke / Pharmacy in Germany. It is NOT baking soda. It seems to be the missing-link when making pretzels here in North America.

Answer:
Lauge is Lye. Brine. A salt solution. yes some countries use it in food prep-norwegian ludefisk is fish soaked in lye. Yuck. This is why it can be purchased in an apotheke.
Also if you cannot find it as baking ingredient, most European based delis and grocery stores sell "Ammonium Bi-Carbonate", I use it in cake and pastrys, I get it in Toronto in the Ploish neigbourhood on Ronsenvelles, it is kept in the area where they sell the flavouring and package yeast, baking powder, vannilin sugar and the concentrated flavourings.

I am a former chef here in Canada, with the Ammonium it is used very sparingly, only a 1/4 tsp in the water you use to dissolve the yeast to make the dough, ordinary baking soda will also due.
