The Flagship in the Schwarzviertel
The house sits in the heart of the Schwarzviertel, the oldest part of the town, close to the well-known market square. According to the business's own account, this was the site of Miltenberg's first bakehouse – a tradition now carried on through the adjoining coffee house.
The Coffee House and an Old Tale
Old books are said to record that a coffee house for churchgoers was first permitted here in Miltenberg. The precise circumstances of this account are not fully documented in the available source, so it should be understood as a piece of local lore rather than an established fact.
The Bread Sommelier
Owner Volker Mayer is a master baker and confectioner as well as a trained bread sommelier. The bread sommelier qualification was offered worldwide for the first time in 2015 at the Federal Academy of the German Bakery Trade in Weinheim; Volker Mayer was among the first certified bread sommeliers. His examination project was devoted to Franconian delicacies with a special focus on Franconian bread, developed together with regional experts from Miltenberg and the surrounding area, including brewers, butchers, winemakers and a Michelin-starred chef.
