Lieken Urkorn Kraft Kerni

Lieken Urkorn is a prominent German bakery brand with a heritage dating back to 1922 when Fritz Lieken founded the company. The Kraft Kerni product is a dense, nutritious whole grain bread (Vollkornbrot) known for its high seed content and long shelf life. This specific variety is marketed for its hearty texture and nutritional benefits.

While the brand was a long-standing independent family business, it underwent several ownership changes in the modern era. Today, the brand is owned by the Czech-based Agrofert Group through its subsidiary Lieken GmbH. Manufacturing remains deeply rooted in Germany, with several large-scale bakery production sites across the country that distribute these pre-packaged bread products internationally to major retail chains.
