Block menu celebrates 30 years of success - Zarrentin in anniversary fever!

30 years ago, the Hamburg entrepreneur Eugen Block laid the foundation for a remarkable success story in Zarrentin. On June 29, 2025, this round was duly celebrated. Eugen Block had acquired a commercial area, on which state -of -the -art food production has now established itself with around 200 jobs. The Block Menu company produces a variety of convenience food, including sauces, funds and finished dishes that not only supply restaurants and hotels, but are also very popular with large and end consumers. This reports the Uckermarkurier and emphasizes that the new production area, which was inaugurated as part of the celebrations, opened additional perspectives for the company.

In addition to the production of food, Block Menu also offers dressings and spice mixtures. The founder notes that his products help the restaurants to offer a consistent taste experience. This is particularly important because there is often a shortage of skilled workers in the catering trade and the careful preparation of food takes many resources. The guests from politics and business, including District Administrator Stefan Sternberg and Berit Steinberg from the district's business development agency, estimated the decision of Block for the Zarrentin location, because the company contributes significantly to the creation of jobs and to become aware of the region.

This book, which was written by chief reporter Jens Meyer-Orwald, is available for 37 euros and offers personal archives and interviews with employees and companions.

As part of the celebrations, the company's own Seehotel in Zarentin was also emphasized as an attractive starting point for tourists.
