Weekly market legend Wulff is retiring-who follows him?
in Reinfeld, a city in Schleswig-Holstein, the weekly market visitors are faced with a change. Jürgen Wulff, a well -known face on the markets, will stop in December for reasons of age. The 64-year-old organic dealer is a veteran of the event and has many loyalty. His path to the organic dealer was not straightforward; Originally a machine locksmith, Wulff spent many years in various professions before he started his career in the food trade in 1997.
Wulff has covered a remarkable life path. After the loss of his job due to the bankruptcy of his previous company, he faced an uncertain future. "To get something again for them will be difficult at the constellation," said the workers' officers at the time. But instead of being discouraged, he decided to independence.
Initially, Wulff had the idea of starting with a snack car, but when he realized that his true passion was in the sale of bio-certified food, he dropped this idea. With the support of the Vorwerk workshops, his snack bar became a market stand, and he quickly found himself in the new role. He put together his offer on the Koberg in Lübeck and on the Brink.
The structure of his business was associated with challenges. Since he had little knowledge of fruit and vegetables, he had to learn a lot. He teaches an amusing memory: The first contact to the lamb's lettuce clarified that it is sold in leaves, not in boxes. But over time, he developed deep knowledge of the various products and their peculiarities. He made contacts with producers and found his niches in the organic segment.
So he tells of a special encounter in the old country that helped him learn the subtleties of the fruit varieties and to establish himself as a reliable dealer. With a smile he thinks back to the ups and downs of his career, from the challenges of delivery to the moments of the community with his customers.
Over the decades, Jürgen Wulff was not only a seller, but also a friend for many in the region. "You are on you and you, we always have nice conversations," says a regular customer. From December, however, it will be different if the good soul of the market is retiring. Wulff plans to spend more time with his family and pursue his hobbies, especially the restoration of the Lübeck-Niendorf manor, which he acquired in 2018.
Although he has found a successor for the market in Lübeck-a young couple from Segeberg-the search for his stands in Reinfeld and Bad Oldesloe has not yet been completed. Wulff endeavors to pass on his knowledge and experience to a new organic dealer. Interested parties can contact him by email.
The changes in the markets show how important it is that traditions are preserved and new generations occur by dealers and take over the torch. Wulff's story is an example of the power of determination and passion. For the customers who have visited him for years, his farewell will be a painful loss.
