Burger Knäckebrot Ballaststoff

Burger Knäckebrot is a historic German crispbread brand with roots dating back to its founding in 1923 by Wilhelm Burger. The brand is particularly famous for being the first and formerly the only large-scale crispbread manufacturer in Germany, establishing its primary production facility in Burg (Magdeburg) in the 1930s. This specific 'Ballaststoff' (fiber-rich) variety continues that tradition of whole-grain health snacks.

Following the reunification of Germany, the company was acquired by the Brandt Group in 2001. Today, manufacturing remains centered in Burg, Germany, where the brand maintains its legacy of using local ingredients. The ultimate ownership lies with the Brandt family through Brandt Zwieback-Schokoladen GmbH + Co. KG, a staple of the German confectionery and baked goods industry.
