Lieken Urkorn Vollkorn Saftiges bread

Lieken Urkorn is one of Germany's most established bakery brands, tracing its history back to Fritz Lieken who founded the company in 1922. The brand is well-known for its wide variety of packaged breads, including whole grain and sourdough options like the 'Vollkorn Saftiges' shown. While the brand has deep German roots and its production facilities remain primarily in Germany and neighboring European regions to ensure freshness, its ownership has transitioned through several multinational hands. After a lengthy period under the Italian Barilla Group, the brand was acquired by the Czech conglomerate Agrofert in 2013 and continues to operate under their large-scale food production division, Lieken GmbH.
