Über 75 Jahre Lindtner - eine Geschichte der besonderen Art

Lindtner in Hamburg — On August 1st, 2014, the beyond Hamburg’s and Europe’s borders well known gastronomic institution celebrated its 75th anniversary. Not only does the magic number 75, but especially the begin and the ensuing growth of this family-owned business, are reasons to celebrate this exceptional story.

On the first of August 1939, the newlyweds Hermann and Alwine Lindtner opened a pastry shop in the centre of Hamburg. The shop was a hit among Hamburg’s citizens – until 1943 when bombs hit the shop.
