Werder Tomaten Ketchup

Werder Tomaten Ketchup is a long-standing German condiment with a heritage rooted in the Havelland region of Brandenburg. The brand’s history dates back to 1873, originating from a cooperation of fruit and vegetable processing companies in the town of Werder (Havel). It became specifically famous for its tomato ketchup recipe, which has been produced since 1958 and became a cultural staple, particularly in East Germany.

The product is manufactured in its home town of Werder (Havel), Germany, maintaining its local production identity. While the ingredients like tomatoes are sourced from prime suppliers across Europe and the Americas to ensure quality, the processing and assembly remain strictly regional in Brandenburg.

Today, Werder Feinkost GmbH is an independent, family-run company. It was officially re-established in its current legal form in 1990 following the reunification of Germany and remains owned by the family of the late Heinrich Geiger. It stands as one of the leading ketchup brands in Germany, especially dominant in the eastern federal states.
