History and reception
At the end of the 15th century there was an uprising in Holland by the so-called cheese brothers - during an economic crisis, farmers and fishermen rebelled against high taxes and the occupation policy of the Habsburg governor. The rebels carried cheese and bread in their flags and thus symbolized the position of these foods as basic daily needs. Cheese bread has long been considered a simple and filling bread dish with a relatively high energy content. In the 16th century, for example, workers and day laborers often received “early morning soup and cheese bread” as their first meal.
In literary works too , the cheese bread is occasionally used in connection with simple and everyday home cooking; For example, the Brothers Grimm 's children's and house fairy tale collection includes the Schwank Das Bürle , in which, on the one hand, cheese bread plays an important role as a simple - and apparently only available - meal, and, on the other hand, “hidden food” for “treating with roast, salad, cake and wine ”.
In December 2006 the single Käsebrot by Helge Schneider reached number 36 in the official German charts .
