The Schlüterbrotfabrik was a company founded in 1913 for baking agents , wholemeal flour and baked goods with large bakeries in Dresden , Hamburg and Berlin . Special recognition attained the developed by company founder Theodor Schlüter Schlüter bread , which is considered the first whole-grain bread fine. During the Berlin blockade , the Schlüterbrotfabrik was one of the few large bakeries in West Berlin and played a major role in supplying the population with bread.

history

In 1890, the mill specialist Theodor Schlüter (Jr.) from Förderstedt near Magdeburg developed a process in which the nutrients in rye bran could be digested under pressure with steam . He applied for an international patent for this so-called Schlueter process between 1904 and 1909 . For England and France, the registrations were also adapted for potatoes, rice and nuts together with the Landsberg mechanical engineering manufacturer Hermann Pauksch. Based on his invention, Theodor Schlüter developed the dark Schlüter rye flour and made recipes for wholemeal bread . In the early years, this Schlüterbrot was baked under license by various bakeries such as the Bornheimer Brotfabrik and advertised as Schlüterbrot DRP .

As a widower with two sons, Theodor Schlüter married the writer Margarete Böhme in 1911 and moved to Berlin. From there he founded the Schlüterbrotfabrik Dresden GmbH in 1913 together with Werner and Konrad Schütt, mill entrepreneurs from Berlin, and the grain expert Paul Mancke . With this he built an industrial bread bakery at Zwickauer Straße 52 in Dresden-Plauen by 1914 and developed his Schlüterbrot to the point of production. As a result, Schlüterbrot was one of the breads recommended for use during the First World War . From 1918 on, Schlüterbrotfabrik GmbH operated in Berlin Alt-Moabit 91 with Paul Mancke as managing director .

1922 married Theodor Schlüters son Theodor Wilhelm's daughter from his first marriage of Margarete Böhme, moved to her Hamburg-Othmarschen and opened in 1923 in the Altona Holstenstraße 79-81 the Schlüter bread factory Th. Schlüter & Co. Around the same time Theodor Schlüters second son Hans took over Schlüter the operation in Dresden. From 1926 the Theodor Schlüter senior also operated under the address of the Dresden bread factory . Special flour factory that from then on produced and sold Schlüter rye flour and other baking agents, and had further developments patented in the years that followed.

From 1927 a new bread factory was built in Berlin-Schöneberg , which began operations in April 1928 at Eresburgstrasse 24-26. Theodor Schlüter died in 1930 and Margarete Böhme went back to Hamburg to live with her daughter and son-in-law, where she died in 1939.

During the Second World War , the special flour factory in Dresden produced, among other things, products made from potato starch and fodder from fermented rye meal . The Schlüterbrotfabrik in Hamburg, located right next to the Altona bunker, was hit by bombs during Operation Gomorrah on the night of July 24th to 25th, 1943, but was able to resume operations. The factory in Plauen was not destroyed in the air raids on Dresden from February 13-15, 1945, but its trace is lost after the Russian occupation. The factory in Schöneberg, on the other hand, was badly damaged during the war and, after the end of the war, was put back into operation by employees within five weeks. It was one of the few companies that ensured the supply of bread to the population of Berlin at that time, and during the Berlin blockade from June 24, 1948 to May 12, 1949, it was one of the companies in the so-called exception circuit for the power supply.

At the beginning of 1952 the Schlüterbrotfabrik GmbH merged with the Bärenbrot GmbH located in the neighboring Germaniastraße 45-46 to form an interest group. As a result, 100 workers were laid off, which the central organ of the GDR New Germany addressed in a propaganda report. 1954 merged then Schlüter bread factory and bears bread for Schlüter bread and bread bear GmbH & Co. KG , which was systematically expanded over the following years. An automatic bread line and an automatic bread roll line with six new tunnel ovens were put into operation. At that time, Schlüterbrot supplied around 2500 sales outlets in West Berlin with its own vehicles .

At the end of 1958, the Schlüterbrotfabrik in Hamburg had given notice to the workforce and wanted to cease operations. After negotiations with the food-gourmet-restaurants union , the company was taken over by the Kiel company HJ Lembke and continued as the HJ Lembke bread factory .

In the 1960s, Ollrogge & Co. Schlüterbrot Betriebs- und Verwaltungs KG , based in Berlin, took over 33% of the shares in Schlüterbrot and Bärenbrot and Hansjürgen Ollrogge became the managing partner. As part of this takeover, the company was renamed a GmbH & Co KG and, on April 2, 1965, its own sales company, Schlüterbrot GmbH, was founded.

In the 1980s, the company increasingly relied on large customers by acquiring well-known discount grocery stores . To expand the range, Schlüterbrot GmbH & Co.Märkische Backwaren KG was founded in Potsdam in January 1992 and a cake line was put into operation. After the loss of a customer with a 25% order volume alone, Schlüterbrot and Bärenbrot had to file for bankruptcy at the Charlottenburg District Court in 1993 . At that time the company had a turnover of around DM 80 million with 550 employees. The company was broken up as part of the ensuing bankruptcy proceedings. The Schlüter Brot GmbH , based in Potsdam was with Ingrid Schlueter as managing Komandantistin the Schlüter bread Märkische baked goods. The Berlin Schlüterbrotfabrik was transferred to Schlüterbrot GmbH Berlin , which was entered in the commercial register on September 10, 1994 and was managed by a consortium made up of Jaquet SA, which belongs to the French seed group Limagrain, and Dagmar Stehr, who was previously authorized signatory of Märkische Backwaren, with a minority stake of 20% Taken over as managing partner.

On April 9, 1997 Ingrid Schlueter left the Potsdam company and production was stopped. The company was taken over in 1998 by the Berlin Benno Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH (Freizeitpark Drewitz) in order to sell the property with project developer Ulrich Weber as managing director. On June 30, 2002, bankruptcy was filed for Schlüterbrot GmbH Berlin and production in Schöneberg was also discontinued.

In 2009 the Berlin project developer psg property service group acquired the 19,000 m² site of the Schöneberger Schlüterbrotfabrik from BAG Bankaktiengesellschaft and converted it into an office and commercial building by April 2011. Schlüterbrot GmbH & Co.Märkisch Backwaren KG, Potsdam, owned by project developer Benno, went bankrupt in 2013.
