Where to find authentic German bakery with tasty bread in Berlin?
Newspaper peddlers are the first to wake up in Berlin. At half-past five or five, the sound of a cart on the pavement and the jingling of a bunch of keys breaks the silence of the morning. Then bakeries open. The earliest is at five o’clock. Most are at 6-7. Before the start of the working day, everyone can go to the German bakery for fresh bread or the simplest and most traditional bun, which in Berlin is called srippe (Schrippe).
And now in Berlin there are such private bakeries. They return to them for the most delicious bread, for the taste of childhood and for the smile of the hostess, who knows all her regular customers.
And now in Berlin every morning begins with bread – both rainy and sunny. The day ends with bread, when the family gathers at the table for “evening bread”, and this is how the word “dinner” is translated from German – Abendbrot. Bread accompanies everyone during the day: to take a break, stretch your legs, be silent and eat a sandwich – this is not just a snack, but “bread time” (Brotzeit).
In Germany, there are 3228 recognized varieties of bread.
All of them make up the German bread culture – an intangible cultural heritage. So decided UNESCO in 2014.
Regional differences left their mark not only in German history textbooks, but also in bread variety. Not only in taste, but also in the name. Take at least a simple white bun. The one that the dictionaries call Brötchen, the Berliner calls Schrippe, the Munichian Semmel, the Stuttgart resident Wecke, and the Hamburg resident Rundstück.
German Bakery
And even as a souvenir from Germany, you can bring bread. Pumpernickel’s rich rye bread was once made specifically for long-term storage. And he rescued people in wars and wanderings. Its sweetish taste goes well with aged cheeses. In supermarkets, you can also find it in the form of round thalers – for canapés.
Here are some bakeries in Berlin that make the same bread (rather than bake frozen blanks):
