Jürgen Bachhuber

Jürgen Bachhuber (born January 2, 1938 on Helgoland ; † September 19, 2013 in Marwitz in the municipality of Oberkrämer ) was a German master butcher and co-founder of the Neuland association, through which he did pioneering work on the welfare of livestock and meat marketing.

Life

Jürgen Paul Bachhuber was born on Heligoland in January 1938 as the son of Hertha Andrea Marichen (née Olendrowski) and Karl Anton Bachhuber. Due to the Second World War , he and his mother had to leave Heligoland at the end of the war. After attending elementary school, at the age of 15, following family tradition, he began training as a butcher. After completing his training, he went to sea to work as a cook on a Hapag ship. He then came to Berlin and settled there professionally and as a family. In 1963 he married Petra Bachhuber (née Clemens).

After completing his training as a master butcher, Bachhuber took over the Heider family's butcher shop in 1967. In 1988 he was a co-founder of the Neuland association , in which 200 farms operate animal-friendly and environmentally friendly livestock and in 2003 were able to supply 27 butcher shops in Berlin alone. The association, which was not initiated to represent the interests of the butcher and slaughter industry, was supported by the German Animal Welfare Association , the Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation and the Working Group on Rural Agriculture . In 1989, Bachhuber founded the first Neuland butcher shop in Berlin. He ran the former butcher's shop of the Heider family until 1996 and supplied upscale Berlin restaurants. Bachhuber was the first to sell high-quality, organically produced quality meat for the chefs of Nouvelle Cuisine in Berlin. In 1996 he sold his butcher shop there. He moved to Marwitz in the municipality of Oberkrämer and founded a smaller butcher shop there again. For many years he has worked with top Berlin chefs, including Michael Hoffmann , Chef of the Year 2010. He also worked closely with Siegfried Rockendorf . He has also been mentioned in several cookbooks, including the cookbook for Stümper by Thomas Platt and Brösel by Altamira (1990). Bernd Matthies of the Tagesspiegel , in whose articles Bachhuber was treated several times during his lifetime, also wrote an obituary.

It is mainly due to his commitment that species-appropriate and environmentally friendly and thus sustainable livestock breeding spread in Germany . In an obituary it was said that Jürgen Bachhuber had shown that animal and environmental protection are also economically worthwhile. "Not only NEULAND, but also rural agriculture, the butcher's trade and especially [...] environmentalists and nature conservationists owe him a lot." "Spreading the ecological idea among Berliners is his work, for which future meat eaters should also be grateful. "

Awards

Award for the Berlin Chamber of Crafts

In 1982 Bachhuber was honored by the Berlin Chamber of Crafts for "excellent performance in vocational training". In March 2010 the magazine Der Feinschmecker named him one of the best butchers in Germany. In 2003 he received the Victor Wendland Ring of Honor, the nature conservation prize of the Berlin Nature Conservation Foundation .
