The Ludwig Stocker Hofpfisterei GmbH is a traditional company with over 700 years of history that produces high-quality, organic baked goods. With a strong focus on sustainability and regional ingredients, the Hofpfisterei offers healthy products for environmentally conscious consumers.
The Ludwig Stocker Hofpfisterei GmbH, short Hofpfisterei, looks back on a rich history that dates back to 1331. At that time, the Torats-MĂĽhle, later known as HofpfistermĂĽhle, was documented in Munich. This mill supplied the ducal court of the Wittelsbach family with bread and flour. Over the centuries, Hofpfisterei developed into an independent company, which has been in the hands of the Stocker family since the 17th century[3].
Hofpfisterei specializes in the production of baked goods made from ecologically produced ingredients. The main products include natural sourdough breads, farmhouse breads, wheat pastries, and other fine baked goods. All Pfister organic breads contain no artificial or chemical food additives and no baking aids. The ingredients come from organic farming, with the exception of sea salt and water[2][3].
The mission of Hofpfisterei is to produce high-quality baked goods under strict ecological criteria and thus contribute to the well-being of consumers and the preservation of the environment. The company places great importance on sustainability and close cooperation with organic farmers. Since 1989, Hofpfisterei has been working with the organic farming association Naturland[2][3].
Hofpfisterei is a pioneer in organic farming and baking. Almost 600 organic farmers cultivate about 3035 hectares of grain fields for the company without chemical-synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. The company operates 146 branches in Bavaria, Baden-WĂĽrttemberg, and Berlin and also sells its products in about 700 retail stores in southern Germany as well as regionally through bread shipping. Through these initiatives, Hofpfisterei actively contributes to environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable agriculture[2][3].
After the death of Siegfried Stocker in 2016, his daughter Nicole Stocker took over the management of the company. Under her leadership, Hofpfisterei continues its strategy of ecological and nature-oriented production. With a turnover of 86.7 million euros and 951 employees in 2023, Hofpfisterei remains a significant player in the German bakery industry[3].
Hofpfisterei combines traditional craftsmanship with modern ecological standards to meet the needs of consumers for healthy and environmentally friendly food.
