Insolvency shock: Krachenfels bakery fights for 29 branches!

Shock for the region: The popular bakery Krachenfels has filed for bankruptcy! With a total of 29 branches that extend from the Black Forest to Lake Constance, including four in the Tuttlingen district and two in the Zollern-Alb district, the future of popular baked goods is on the brink. How is it going now?

The dark message came from the district court of Villingen-Schwenningen. Krachenfels Handels GmbH and Bäckerei Krachenfels GmbH are affected. The bankruptcy is handled by self -administration - one last hope to fight for the crisis. The preliminary administrator Thorsten Schleich, an experienced lawyer, is supposed to tear the helm around. What is the reason for the economic disaster? Increasing energy costs, exploding prices for raw materials and the aftermath of corona pandemic are strongly increasing the company. The bakery has had to close various branches in the past few months, including employee locations in Villingen-Schwenningen and Trossingen.

How is it going?

At the moment the situation remains tense: Despite bankruptcy, the jobs of the 210 employees are secured for the time being. In the coming months, your salaries will be covered by bankruptcy money. Managing Director Georg Krachenfels is combative and has big plans to strengthen the bakery for the future. A notice in the branches promises further training for the team, but in reality this is a needy information round about the turbulent economic situation.

Does the Trossinger branch ever come back? Unclear! It is only to be hoped that the lack of staff was the only real reason for the closures. At the same time, there are around 30 job advertisements on the company's website - a desperate attempt to keep business going. Krachenfels is not an isolated case; The Sternenbäck bakery also reported bankruptcy and terminated its employees. The concerns of the baked goods lovers are great: who will follow?
