The Magic of German Bread

The event is full. Please join us another time!

If you have to choose one food to represent a country. Then for Germany this one food is for sure Bread. According to the bread register of the German Institut for Bread, there are more than 3,200 officially recognized types of bread in Germany. And German bread culture was officially added by UNESCO to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2014.
