The bakery trade is one of the oldest commercial crafts in the world with centuries of tradition. Baked goods are particularly popular in Germany. Whether it‘s a breakfast roll, a midday snack or a traditional supper, you can have something fresh from the bakery at any time of day. The variety of German bread is greater than in any other country. There are said to be around 3,200 different bread specialities in total. They are produced in almost 10,000 companies by around 240,000 employees. This makes the bakery trade one of the most important crafts in the country. Düsseldorf is also home to a large number of traditional bakeries that supply their customers with breads, rolls and pastries. We visited four of them!
