Butchers in Remscheid: heat, crisis and the loss of regional treasures!

Remscheid, Deutschland - A worrying trend is emerging in Remscheid: the number of butchers shrinks rapidly. Of the once 30 companies in the 1990s, there are now only ten left over, as can be seen from a report by Waterboelles.de . This development not only questions the local supply of high -quality foods, but is also associated with a loss of traditional specialist knowledge. Butchers are a central part of regional added value, and their decline could endanger the availability of specialties such as the popular Kottenwurst.

challenges for butchers

The reasons for this decline are complex: high energy costs, strict bureaucratic requirements and changing consumption behavior burden the companies. According to a survey, a local butcher complained about the increasing energy costs and the constantly growing documentation obligations that could hardly be met. These challenges affect not only the butchers, but also other local companies that suffer from the same conditions, so dasoertliche.de .

In order to counteract the imbalance, the local administration could consider promoting innovative solution concepts. These include, for example, the development and marketing of plant -based alternatives and cooperation with regional producers. The support in the search for funding is offered by the Düsseldorf Chamber of Crafts in order to support companies in the purchase of environmentally friendly technologies and thus reduce their costs and to open up new market segments.
