There had been a bakery that had to shut down because it was to old, that was in 1985.

Yes, sometimes we organize baking festivals, but not on any fixed dates.
Are there special baking actions, e.g. baking with children?
Yes, on request. People who are interested in building a baking house themselves, societies, information events for other communes, baking with children or acolytes and many more.
Especially for local village events, like when we’re setting up the Maibaum (a Bavarian tradition, see Maibaum), we heat up the oven and reward the helpers with freshly baked bread and a hearty meal.
What is it that you bake regularly? Are there special bakegoods?
Hauptsächlich Brote, wie z.B. Sauerteig-oder Hefe, auch saisonale Brotvarianten, aber auch Semmeln, Dinnete, Pizzen, Kuchen, Hefezöpfe, und um die Restwärme zu nutzen wird des öfteren noch ein Braten in den Ofen geschoben.
Mainly we bake bread, sourdough or yeast breads, but also seasonal bread varieties. Additionally rolls, Dinnette (Swabian Pizza), pizza, cakes, braded yeast buns… And to make use of the remaining heat we sometimes shove in a roast meat.
