Nobis Printen Backerei Aachen

About

Nestled in the historic city center of Aachen, Nobis Printen is a family‑run bakery that has been delighting locals and tourists for over 160 years. Founded in 1858 by master baker Johannes Michael Nobis, the shop has grown from a single storefront on the Pontstraße into one of the region’s most beloved culinary landmarks. Every morning, skilled bakers hand‑craft a wide array of breads, pastries, and the iconic German *Printen* in the bakery’s original 19th‑century ovens, using a triple‑stage sourdough starter and only the finest regional ingredients. Nobis Printen’s dedication to quality and sustainability has earned it a string of distinguished awards, including twelve consecutive *Meister Werk NRW* honors, the *Landesehrenpreis für Lebensmittel* and a gold certification from the Deutsches Lebensmittel‑Gewerbe. The bakery’s commitment to fair trade, local sourcing, and renewable energy is evident in every loaf—from responsibly‑sourced wheat and fair‑trade chocolate to the use of photovoltaic power on the bakery’s roof. The café‑like atmosphere welcomes families, couples, and food lovers alike. Open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily, the bakery offers freshly baked bread, warm coffees, and a selection of savory and sweet treats that cater to both adventurous palates and traditional tastes. A visit to Nobis Printen is more than a shopping trip; it is a window into a centuries‑old baking heritage that continues to thrive in a modern, eco‑friendly context.
