8:22 He does this in the morning directly for the day. That's because if bread sits for more than a day, it's no longer fresh enough and eventually becomes soggy and tough. Most bakers bake for the same day. Afterwards, fresh dough is prepared for the following day, but not baked. It is then only refrigerated. 11:00 Now why do so many people not want to do the job? There are many factors. On the one hand, because the job is very hard. Getting up early, poor pay, hard physical labour. On the other hand, in the past 20-30 years, older people have often told their children to go to university so that they can learn something and earn enough money. At some point, demographic change automatically led to fewer and fewer people wanting to learn the bakery trade and more and more wanting to go to university.
My grandfather was a baker and I grew up with it. My grandfather rejected all the baking mixes that are also available for bakers, just like this baker. I went to the mill with him once a week and we bought various quality flours in large quantities. He made everything himself in the bakery. For me, becoming a baker myself was never an option. This job is extremely hard, both on the body and in terms of the discipline you have to have. Just getting up early. He started at 1am, making everything fresh for the day every day. The smell that wafted through the house was incredible. When I came home from a party with my friends, we had to come in through the conservatory. The trays of fresh cake cooled there and if we didn't eat it, he was really offended. He was always happy when we had "stolen" properly. Today I even think he didn't have to let the trays cool there, he did it for us. Great. But he also gave me a few warnings. He always said: "Never eat industrial baked goods. There are endless amounts of chemicals in it that are carcinogenic, even affect the body hormonally and make you fat. Toast that is pre-sliced is even treated with an anti-mold powder that is also toxic to humans. Don't eat that. Better spend more money in a real bakery." I still take that to heart today. But everything also tastes much better.
When I was a child (1958) there were three bakeries in our village of 1400 inhabitants. At baker Schubert's they had round 1kg bread with a dark, shiny crust. I always had to walk about one and a half kilometres to get the bread. Then at home we had the Knust, the first piece, with goose fat and Harz cheese. With that a cup of cocoa, if possible. It was a real treat. There is no bread like that anymore.
In Germany, after school you either do vocational training or go to university. I first learned to be a roofer. Afterwards he spent a year in the Bundeswehr and then trained as an architectural draftsman. So, I've learned enough 👍😎
It's actually quite simple: The cost of a product is just the sum of all worker wages that went into making it. So if you can replace daily wages with a one-time payment for the wages of a machine manufacturer, you can sell your products cheaper. That's why more and more bread comes from industrial production and why those small bakeries cannot pay the premium needed to get people to work through the night.
Being a baker is hard for social and health life. I did it for eight weeks. Getting up at 2:30 am, working form 4 am till 1 pm, being at home at 1:30 or 2 pm, falling to bed, sleeping till 5 or 6 pm, being awake till midnight (bc sleeping the whole afternoon), and at 2:30 am the alarm goes off again.
well im a german country child it was pretty comon that we stumbled out of a bar went to the next backer knockt at there backery window and bought oven warm raisin bread
Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer bakeries like this. Large bakeries that mass-produce bread are increasingly squeezing out the small, good artisan bakeries! What a disgrace! Many people no longer want to do the job of a master baker because it's a hard job and you have to work very early all the time. Today's generation is too lazy for that! We have our own bakery at the front of our grocery store, which belongs to a larger chain that bakes in bulk. This chain has its bakeries everywhere and has displaced the local, small artisan bakers. But when you go to the bakery, you see a new sales clerk practically every 4 weeks. The same person is rarely there for longer. The people who work there are unskilled workers who are underpaid!
the younger people are not lazy. Just the money they earn, isnt enough to live of it. If your job salary, still get subsidized by the goverment, you have to write application for social benefits although you work fulltime, who wants to be in that position, to feel like a social security case although you work fulltime in a demanding skillfull profession???? You will never be able, to buy a house in a town where your bakery is, never afford vacations and hobbys.... and that for horrible working hours?? The german employment market currently is empty of young talented people but not for those companys, who pay a liveable wage!! So naturally, when people get less kids, there are more job opportunitys than those SHIT jobs which dont pay for your living! If you can choose, if you want to learn baker or plumber, where for night emergency work you can charge an arm and a leg and easily work "black" which means avoiding taxes.. a baker cant do that... The breadroll doesnt cost emergency charge even if baked at 2 in morning.... And if you have good grades in school, you rather choose to study at university than learning a craft. The problem isnt that they are lazy! They just take the best opportunities they have, and dont need to accept bad offers!! But its a vicious cycle, the baker would love to charge more... but because most people dont earn a lot, he cant charge one euro for a breadroll... when theres industrial made rolls for 17 cents in every chain bakery.....
Huhu 🤗. Danke für deine schönen Videos und Reaktionen 😊🫶. Ich schau dich sehr gerne, mach weiter so, bleib du und deine Familie gesund und schön brav💐👍❤️
Nowadays some bakeries change to „normal“ working hours in order to find apprentices. They prove, that this is possible. It is somehow logical as well, as workdays start later. Nearly nobody starts at 6 o‘clock as in former times.
They don't come to the supermarket to ask for leftovers - they come to the bakery to buy fresh bread. Still warm. See, if you go out partying in Germany, some clubs are busy until 5 or 6 am. So, you leave the club and stop by the bakery and get the freshest bread and rolls. You want to go eat one or two delicious warm Brötchen right from the bag, then go home, sleep in, and then have the best breakfast in the world
manual labor jobs in general are in decline in germany. Over 50% of students finish school with the highest degree (Abitur) and go to university, and this quota is rising steadily. And you don't study at university to become a baker, car mechanic, barber etc. ... Baker in particular is a rather unpopular job because of the working hours and the rather harsh conditions with heat and dust.
For a little explanation... We have in Germany really big companies like VW or BASF... But we have many little Family Companies in small villages... In the big companies is all produced automatically but in those small companies is all handcrafted and this is mostly harsh and hard work... This is the thing, what no one want's to do but everyone want's the perfect handcrafted things... 🤷🏼♂️
Wucherpfennig "Usurer penny" - great name. A usurer is someone who, for example, charges 6 times the interest rate, or sells bread for 3 times more than usual, even though it is not really worth more. "Pfennig" is the smallest unit of money. So a usurer who cheats with the penny. So not a good name for a merchant. The name probably comes from the Middle Ages 🙂
Today many people don't want to work in a craft man job like baker. Young people want to be youtuber, game developer, banker or in an insurance company. But dirty hands are not high valued anymore. Btw. I am a mast of crafts, so I know what I am talking about. Actually around 250.000 jobs in crafting jobs are vacant.
The boss doing everything, it is his job. it is different to your companies. he is baking bread and all other guys helping him. it is not buisness who the boss watcher over his employees.
Best fast food in the world, better than McD, Pizza, Donuts, KFC, Currywurst, Döner Kebab...you name it, is: Fresh baked (might even be still a little bit warm) sourdough wheat or rye mixed bread with thick french salted butter. There is nothing better!
Why don't people do the job: It is very physical. I know a few bakers in Germany, more then half had to change their profession, because of health issues. I know both, small bakers and big ones, they always look for workers. It is worse than brickwork, because the movements are so repetitive. The pressure from cheap industrial bread makes the pay lower, which adds to the pressure. The work hours are a KILLER on any love life or having kids and it super unhealthy, too. Most people I know who worked in bakeries have two seperate blocks they have to show up to work, every day. It is not 8h a day, it is usually like 4h night work and 5h day work. Which is super weird and unhealthy.
I don't know if being a baker is one of those professions that you can learn either in a 3-year apprenticeship or through a certain amount of time on the job - the time required for that is probably twice the apprenticeship time, if I remember correctly... but it's a good way to get started in the trade if you find that the profession you chose before doesn't suit you.
^The Problem of any workmanship in Germany is the same. First the salary is much lower than in the industry. Even to grow a new company is nearly not possible for young people. The amount of money for this is nearly unreachible. Especialy in the food-section is it more and more impossible for small companies to survive. even companies who exist since 100 hundred years can´t survive. The people buy in supermarkets much more sheeper. Especially bakeries and butcheries are extremely effected. There salary are the lowest in Germany. This is also the same in the gastronomic section. Also the working-time is very bad. No young people want to invest time in this vocational training. The practicle and schooltime for the profession of a baker is 3 years. After this you have to work as a baker for minimum 5 years. Than you are allowed to go to the Master-school. Only after a positive examination you will get a master-degree as a master-baker, which allow you to open a own bakery-company. This ist the same in all kind of craftmanship-professions like blacksmith, carpender, Bricklayer, plasterer, tiler, roofer, shoemaker, metal worker, electrician, hairdresser, upholsterer, plumber, heating worker, motor mechanical, mechanical worker, air conditioning and ventilation worker and so on. Some of this craftsmanship-profession especially the technical-ones are more demanding and extensive. For example the master-school of a metal-worker includes the teaching of technical expertising, technical calculations, technical drawing, statical calculations, metallurgy, work safety, commercial management, employment law, Contract law, tax law, bookkeeping , accounting, quotation calculation, vocational and work education. For all this subjekts will be a single and separate examination. Before all this examinations you have to bring a certivicate as an international welding expert. after all this you are a metal-works-master. It allows you to open a company in all metalbuilding-sections. in top of this you are allowed to train fitters, welders, locksmiths, technical draftsman, metal workers, mechanics, commercials, bookkeepers, clerks and salespersons. For example an engineer can not open a company, because he have only technical education. all other missing education he have to lern at the master-school also before. I hope all this explenations were not to extensive. I´m sorry for my bad english.
As you mentioned engineers. As a civil engineer you're not allowed to hand in an unverified structural analysis for a building application unless you've been working under supervision of an experienced CE for at least 5 years (at least 20 years ago, haven't checked since)
Why we have a lack of Workers is really easy... We have the young Generation which isn't willing to do the "Old" and "boring" Jobs... They wanna Jobs like Influencer or something this way... The normal Jobs are not good enough paid but this are the jobs we really need...
Bakers are not very well paid and have to work very hard and early in the day. There are many jobs with bad salery and they don't get enaugh people anymore.
Nobody wants to do a job like being a baker because 1) it involves very unusual working hours and 2) it is very poorly paid as a simple employee, after tax deductions you often don't get more than someone on welfare! The main problem are our massive taxes, which are now slowly becoming a huge problem with the high Worldwide Inflation!
The low pay, mostly only long nightwork, zero social life, no time and possibility to have own family and kids bc no time, constant heavy physical work, high heat, boring repetitiv task, high standard for own hygiene and health to avoid spread illness, or bakery close forever, low profit, high burocracy, people complain about high price but worker will never be able to afford a house or travel world. Reality is tough. Watching this and not knowing reality are two different things. If people want this keep up they should pay 10 time more for a loaf bread.

We call it "Markttag" every Wednesday and Saturday.. normal in Germany😄 (Tuesday/Friday) in the cafe we use porcelain cups/mugs and plates.
Now, you're hungry.. fresh bread 🥪😉

Parents want their children to go to university instead of manual labor. Even if they end up earning less later on. It's stupid sometimes.

You have to bake bread yourself, it is no magic. But if feels good, bread you made.
Come to Germany, eat, drink and have a very good. time
