Brief history
The history of Mestemacher began in 1871 when master shoemaker Johann Heinrich Mestemacher started a modest bakery factory in Gütersloh for his 20-year-old son Wilhelm, a master baker. After 35 years in the bakery business, in 1910, Wilhelm introduced a specialist bakery for pumpernickel.
