Germany: More and More Bakeries Have to Close / Deutschland: Immer mehr Bäckereien müssen schließen | Maintower

Corona, lack of young people and now the high energy prices. The last traditional bakery in Heppenheim has to close. The traditional bakery of the Kaufmann family has been on the corner of Mozartstrasse and Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse in Weststadt since 1903. And now it's the end of December. "Unfortunately, the high energy prices and material costs are forcing us to do this!" says owner Willi Kaufmann. And so the Heppenheim bakery is not the only bakery in Hesse that has to close.
