- Ask a german what a they proud of all of them will most likely say our bread. I head to a small town called Memmingen to meet with a Master Backer Christian Maier at Bäckerei Maier. In which to find out what makes german bread so special. Then back to Ulm to get answers why the south is know for the best bread in Germany and why bread is so important in Germany.

Did you know that Christopher Walken‘s father was from a famous bakery dynasty in West Germany and moved to America later on becoming president of the bakery guild in North America? The word “walken” is an ancient German word for kneading.
In Germany we germans take the "Graubrot" (sourdough bread) as a given. But we start to appreciate it when we are abroad and don't get it. My parents used to live in Asia for 7 years and they would miss the bread so much, that my mother started baking her own bread. There is nothing better than a freshly baked bread with a cracky crust, half way cooled down, with just butter and a pinch of salt ☺ yummy! 😋
I moved abroad for university and after one year I started baking my own German bread because I missed it so much. And I need it daily of course
your baker friend is extremely friendly
First thing I missed in Florida when I was over there was bread.
Nobodys talking about quality, variety ( of grains & ingredients ) taste, smell, texture, aromatics, aethetics, form, size and ... quality ( again ! ) That's the secrets :)
actually in the last days there are more and more Bäckereien as well as other small business are closing because they cannot deal with the raising gas and electricity prices. I loved to eat bread as well, my mother did make Sauerteig it herself when I was a child (there was a full grain movement in the 80s). Now I'm gluten intolerant and without that it's hard to make tasting bread and I miss it sometimes - but there is a great bakery in Berlin that is specialised in it. Sometimes I go there and treat myself.
German bread culture is the result of many factors, I believe
I learned baking. That meant waking up at midnight and driving to the bakery at

Es geht nichts über ein Sauerteigbrot mit hohem Roggenanteil. 70:30 😋
Who'd have thought, I, as a german, would learn so much from a brit about german bread culture! Well done! 😄

This whole part in the bakery makes me so happy!!!!!
Ich glaube, wir essen heute noch so viel Brot, weil es ein einfaches, schnelles und doch abwechslungsreiches Essen ist: Keine Lust, etwas zu kochen? Brot auf den Tisch und dann schauen, was in Kühlschrank + Speisekammer vorhanden ist. Klassisch Butter und Wurst/Käse oder etwas schicker als Sandwich mit Salatblatt drunter und Tomate drauf. Oder ein Spiegelei braten und als Strammer Max aufs Brot. Oder mit allen möglichen Brotaufstrichen. Und mit den unterschiedlichen Brotsorten - es wird nicht eintönig :)
German bread is as diverse as our language and different cultures. As an example, look at a map of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation"....
One little thing I was missing in the video: The museum guide told that in Northern Germany it was not possible to grow the highly demanding wheat, so rye was grown. Absolutely true.
I don't get it. Where do you put your "Aufschnitt" on if not on bread? ^^ The smells from bakeries are outstanding. I love that. Maybe because I'm a German. I can't imagine a life without bread and I'm not kidding.
The thing i miss the most while traveling ! Lets Gooo!
such a brilliant video. thank you for all the background knowledge, most of the germans are aware, but no tourist would never think about.
