New bread hotspot Backverrückt” opens at Marienplatz in Schwerin!
A new bread shop, “Backverrückt”, is opening at Marienplatz in Schwerin, which is sure to make the hearts of all bread lovers beat faster. Led by managing director Guido Wohlgemuth and his son Malte, a master baker and part of the fifth generation of the bakery family, this small, fine shop places great emphasis on quality and craftsmanship without getting lost in the typical café fanfare. Here it's all about bread - and in its purest form.
“Backverrückt” has not only attracted attention because of its name, but also impresses with a first-class range of 20 different bread specialties. These include the most popular bread, the 300 degree spelled, as well as the muesli bar with dates and figs, the spelled ciabatta and the Alte Fritz - a whole grain rye bread based on a tried and tested recipe from 1899. What is also innovative is that the breads are made without additives and the dough is allowed to rest for 24 hours in advance to achieve the best possible taste. Payments are only made cashless here - a modern concept that many customers will appreciate. During opening hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., customers can not only buy the variety of breads, but also try them in advance in the form of small cubes.
Challenges and successes
The opening of “Backverrückt” was not without its challenges. Due to a lack of staff, the team had to improvise at times, but was able to solve the problem in a timely manner. “We are happy that everything went well and that we can now welcome our customers,” says Guido Wohlgemuth. Previous sales outlets such as the “Fruchteck Kellputt” on Platz der Freiheit already had loyal customers who are now following the new concept on Marienplatz with interest. These customers love the idea that bread is only sold as a whole or half loaf and is not offered sliced, which further speaks to its freshness and quality.
The “Backverrückt” bakery is part of the long tradition of Schwerin’s baking culture, which is strongly influenced by family businesses and handcrafted production.
