Halver bakery in Frechen closes after 164 years - a sad farewell!

Frechen, Deutschland - The Halver bakery in Frechen is history! After 164 years in family ownership, the traditional company pulls the connector. The fifth generation that conducted the company has decided to give up business - a bitter loss for the region!

The reasons are alarming: owner Johannes Halver has been fighting with a serious eye disease for years that forces him and his wife Heike to pull the ripcord. "It was simply not an end to look at work," explains the couple. Health problems and the continuing shortage of personnel have accelerated the decision. Despite the intensive search for a successor, the company remained without perspective. The loyal employees, many in a team for decades, have already found new jobs. A sad farewell for everyone who regarded the Halver bakery as an integral part of their everyday life.

Farewell to an era

The shop on Frechener Hauptstraße is now taken over by the "Klein’s Backstube". On their homepage, the team says goodbye with emotional words: "It was very nice with you!". The bakery, founded in 1860, was not just a business, but part of the community. The closure marks the end of an era that lasted for 164 years. The Halver couple experienced and achieved a lot during this time, but now the time has come to hand over the scepter. Another proof that many family businesses are facing major challenges in the baker's trade, while large chains win the upper hand.

The closure of the Halver bakery is a painful loss for local culture and gastronomy. Another chapter closes and the memories of the fresh rolls and the warm atmosphere will live on in the hearts of the customers.
