At iba, the leading trade fair for bakery, confectionery and snacks, the Central Association of the German Bakery Trade today crowned the new German champions: Sebastian Brücklmaier from Munich and Yannick Dittmar from Herford impressed the high-caliber jury with their skills. They were particularly impressed by the filigree skill, the structured way of working, the variety of craftsmanship and, of course, the impressive showpiece," said Roland Ermer, President of the Central Association, at the award ceremony.

At the German Championships, the Brücklmaier/Dittmar team had seven and a half hours to create breads, pastries, Danish pastries, yeast dough and an artistically created showpiece on the theme of "Passion". Not only quality and taste were judged, but also presentation and working methods. "The German Championship demanded a lot from us, both physically and mentally," sums up Sebastian Brücklmaier. His co-partner Yannick Dittmar adds: "We trained for more than eight months to win. We are really proud of our achievement and want to show how creative and diverse the bakery trade is.

With the title of German champions, the two master bakers will now be part of the German national bakery team, which brings together the best bakers in the country.

The next German Championship of Master Bakers will take place in fall 2027 at the upcoming iba trade fair in Munich.
