history
The domestic chicken breed Bielefeld Kennhuhn has existed since it was first presented in Hanover in 1976 and was presented as a new breed to the Association of German Breed Poultry Breeders (BDRG) as the "German Kennhuhn" . The objections of the special associations were directed against the designation Deutsches Kennhuhn. The breeding committee gave the recommendation to find a local or regional name. The new breed was named "Bielefelder Kennhühner" because of the ties to the Bielefeld City Association through the breeder's board activities. With the breed name "Bielefelder Kennhühner" the path of this chicken is clearly mapped out after the breeding committee of the BDRG has accepted this name. In 1980 it was fully recognized by the breeding committee of the BDRG. Only four years later, after repeated presentations at national shows, the dwarf breed was recognized as a Bielefeld dwarf kennel.
