In the middle of Solothurn’s old town: the oven goes out again in a traditional bakery

There is no end to the deaths of bakers. A traditional company in Solothurn was also affected after 80 employees lost their jobs at Chrigubeck in Burgdorf BE. Müller bakery, known for its crispy bread baked on wood fire, had to file for bankruptcy. Last Saturday he sold his last loaves of bread. As can be seen from the reactions on social media, customers are extremely worried.

This means that Richard Felder’s life’s work is ruined. He spent seven years searching for a successor. «As far as Austria and Germany. “It cost me about 80,000 francs,” he says. “We needed a successor, not Beck,” Solothurner tells the Zeitung. Shortly after finding one the oven now stays absolutely cold.

“The rent was too high from the beginning”

This is a shock to employees and customers. “The rent was very high from the beginning,” says Baker Christian Peters, who took over the business from Felder in 2017. It couldn’t work out that way in the long run. He now regrets signing the contract. «If the sales were correct, we could get by with a black zero. But we got nowhere,” he says.

We searched for a solution until the end. A brand new wood stove was commissioned. That is why Peters talks about an ambiguous situation in the “Solothurner Zeitung”. What’s next for him and his wife Katrin Aebischer? “Employment office,” he said dryly.

“There are no butcher shops and fewer and fewer bakeries.”

Politics also comes into play. “And once again the city of Solothurn became a grocery store poor. In the middle of the renovation, the fire in the bakery went out. It’s a shame. Unfortunately, it will not be the last detail list that fails to make it. A city without butchers, with fewer and fewer bakeries. Targeted city marketing will be necessary,” writes the SME and SME of the canton of Solothurn. trade association is on Facebook.
