Hill bakery opens in the Goethe Park Center: A new enjoyment!

Bad Salzungen, Deutschland - freshly fragrant bread and sweet particles - that is what many Cologne internally can expect from the Hill bakery. On July 3, 2025, the new Hill bakery opened its doors in the Goethe Park Center in Bad Salzungen. This reopening is the result of a transition, because the bakery Eichholz GmbH from Mihla previously operated the backstand in the center. But the economic unprofitable and the announcement of the withdrawal of the last branch made space for a breath of fresh air.

The Goethe Park Center, which was already built in 1996/97, comprises an area of ​​a proud 10,000 square meters. With the move of the Hill bakery there is now another place where gourmet can buy the daily bread and more.

The new hill bakery

The Hill bakery, based at Michaelisstraße 3 in Bad Salzungen, has already made a name for itself in the region. The bakery received an assessment of 4.1 from Google users, which indicates good customer satisfaction. The patient staff who ensures quick operation is particularly valued. However, a small drop of bitterness remains: the backstand is only open and not accessible.

The opening times are generous: Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., while on Sundays. If you don't want to try it on site, you have the opportunity to deliver or take it - this makes the hearts of many bakery fans beat faster.

market development in the baker's trade

This positive development comes at a time when the bakery trade in Germany faces challenges. The number of bakeries has been declining in particular since 2018, and sales are reduced by around 0.3 %annually. These falling figures are primarily due to the economic framework, such as the Corona pandemic and the Ukraine secretary, which led to a price increase for raw materials and dampen the demand.

Another aspect is that smaller companies often stand up to the neck, while large companies can win market shares. The change towards snack culture and the growing health awareness of consumers stir up the need for high -quality products, which is a challenge for many traditional bakeries.

Despite these adverse circumstances, the bakery is not stopped. Forecasts show that moderate growth of around 0.8 % is possible to 2027. This could also play a role in the constantly changing bakery environment.

The colorful rolls and fragrant breadlaibe, which are now offered in the Goethe Park Center, invite you to discover the fresh products and the new offers. Perhaps the Hill bakery will be a new favorite place of stay for many Bad Salzug and Cologne.
