DÜSSELDORF’S BAKER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Josef Hinkel’s bread is known far and wide in north west Germany. Join him for a stroll around the traditional food market at Carlsplatz before a behind-the-scenes tour of his family-run bakery – and learn a few secret baker’s tips to take home.

For history buffs and food lovers alike wondering what to see in Düsseldorf; Flour runs in Josef’s veins. His great-grandparents, Jean and Katharina Hinkel, first opened their bakery in 1891, and Josef still bakes ‘printen’ (a special kind of gingerbread) using their original recipe. Today, he oversees the two family-run bakeries in downtown Düsseldorf, and can often be seen waving a cheery ‘hello’ as he cycles to the market with fresh loaves of bread each morning.
