New Year's Pretzel for District Administrator: Bäcker Guild is fighting for tradition and future!

On January 16, 2025, there was a significant tradition in the Kreishaus Siegburg: the handover of the New Year's Pretzel by the Bäcker guild Bonn/Rhein-Sieg. This celebration not only brings a symbolic fresh start, but also illuminates current challenges of the baker's trade.

District Administrator Sebastian Schuster, who received the New Year's Pretzel, were among those present, as well as Bernd Rott, senior master of the baker's guild, and other board members such as Peter Profittlich and Armin Klein. The pretzel, which was made this year by the Elmar Klein bakery from Bornheim, stands for the appreciation that the district administrator brings towards the crafted bread.

tradition and meaning

The handover of the New Year's Pretzel to the administrative management has a long tradition and is intended to promote the dialogue between the baker's guild and politics. District Administrator Schuster expressed his respect for the craftsmanship of the bakers and wished the guild every success.

This ceremony is more than a friendly ritual. It also offers the possibility for the baker's guild to point out current challenges. Bernd Rott reported on the pressing problems with which the bakery companies are faced. This includes increasing energy prices that arose due to the Ukraine War and difficulties in recruiting qualified personnel.

call to support

Rott appealed to politics to make good decisions and to initiate quick implementations to help the companies in the region. In recent years, these worries have become louder, especially in view of the bureaucratic hurdles, which in particular have a lot of strain on small family businesses.

It is clear that the New Year's Pretzel is not only a culinary, but also a social symbol. It stands for the anchoring of the bakery in regional culture and the unbroken will to continue despite challenging times. Further information on the topics of bakery trade and their challenges up to the Bundestag election 2025 are available on the websites of the Bäckerwerks

The event shows that the baker's guild and politics have to work together on solutions to secure the future of the bakery trade in the region.
