The Vinzenzmurr Vertriebs GmbH operates in southern Germany butcher shops and a wholesale for meat and sausage products.

The headquarters in Munich-Obersendling

Company history

In 1902, Vinzenz Murr and his wife Rosa Murr opened a butcher's shop in a former charcutier shop . Shortly thereafter, further branches were opened. Among other things, “Saures Lüngerl” in a can and Altmünchner Leberkäse were offered . After daughter Rosa Murr married Karl Deuringer , the butcher's business continued to expand.

The company founder Vinzenz Murr died in 1949; a decade later, his granddaughter Evi Deuringer took on joint responsibility for the growing company and, after the death of her mother Rosa Deuringer, was responsible for sales and administration. In 1967 a plot of land was acquired in the Hofmannstrasse industrial and commercial area in Munich- Obersendling , which was the result of the concentration of Siemens AG , where today's butchery factory is located. From there, supra-regional wholesale sales were started .

Further branches were opened continuously. In 1996 the company received the Erasmus Grasser Prize for special commitment and services to apprenticeship training. After Karl Deuringer's death, Markus and Alexander Brandl took on responsibility in the company. In 2010, the company was awarded the national prize of the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection awarded for quality and performance.

Tradition and today's production

For a long time, meat and sausage products were produced by hand; from cutting through portioning, processing to packaging. Production now takes place in a meat factory at Hofmannstrasse 9, 81379 Munich. Some of the sausage is still produced using machine production methods using original recipes from the company's founder, Vinzenz Murr .

The company is a founding member of the “Münchner Weißwurst ” and “Bayrischer Leberkäs ” protection associations, each of which advocates the origin-related protection of the term or product. The application for protection of the name “Münchner Weißwurst” at the German Patent and Trademark Office was rejected in the last instance by the German Patent Court.

facts and figures

The so-called meat number (also EEC control number) of the company is D-EV 891.

At the Munich Oktoberfest , the company operates a small beer tent with a snack stand under the name “Metzger Stubn”.

Today the company is represented with over 200 butchers and branches all over southern Germany and is managed by Evi, Markus and Alexander Brandl.

Company owner Evi Brandl is one of the richest people in Munich with an estimated 800 million euros in assets (2013).

Hygiene deficiencies

On March 30, 2011, the Munich district administration department (which is responsible for food monitoring in the city of Munich ) checked several branches of Vinzenzmurr in Munich and found serious hygiene deficiencies . As only later became known to the public, the inspectors mainly found chilled and frozen stocks of meat that was no longer suitable for consumption because it was discolored and had deviations in smell and taste. In addition, complaints were made about dirty rooms and facilities in several cases. According to the authorities, however, no food unsuitable for consumption was put on the market and there was no health risk from food.

During the hearing, those affected largely denied the allegations. More than a year after the controls, the district administration department dated August 3, 2012, imposed 29 fines in the amount of between 100 and 4800 euros against the branch and operations manager of the Vicensemurr company and, in September 2012, provided the Süddeutsche Zeitung with information about this, stating the company name, but without to list the specific findings and complaints, whereupon the newspaper reported accordingly. Vinzenzmurr immediately applied to the Munich Administrative Court to prohibit the authority from providing further information to the press, but the city objected to the application and prevailed in the urgent procedure. After the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on the judicial defeat of the company on September 21, Vinzenzmurr accepted the fines and made a press release to the public in which the management expressed their regret for the defects and violations discovered and assured that countermeasures had already been taken to have.

The exact complaints remained unknown to the public at this time, as neither the district administration department nor the Vinzenzmurr company commented on this. However, the decision of the Munich Administrative Court was published after some time in the “Database Bavaria Law”, a website of the Bavarian State Government - in an anonymized form, but without further ado, especially for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, which knew the file number. The reasoning for the decision, which has now been made public, named numerous findings of the inspectors in exemplary form, such as:

Meat and sausage cuts (1,500 g) that looked gray, dried out and sticky, shiny and smelled sour and rancid
The floor was under the meat and sausage counter z. Some millimeters high with dark coverings, rubbish, leftover food, cobwebs and rat droppings.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on this on October 18, 2012.
