Dorsten's Miske Reisemetzgerei Wins 'Bester auf Crange' Award

Alfred Miske and his daughter Daniela were presented with the "Bester auf Crange 2025" award on 5 August 2024 in the Herne city council chamber. The prize, a retroactive honor for the previous fair year, recognises the family’s long‑standing presence at the Cranger Kirmes, Germany’s largest fair, which runs from 6 August to 16 August and expects more than four million visitors.

The Miske Reisemetzgerei, a family‑run business founded in 1937, has been a staple stall at the Cranger Kirmes for over five decades, offering traditional meat specialties from its location at the corner of Hauptstraße and Dorstener Straße opposite the Cranger Gate. Daniela Miske, now the owner, is noted for being a vegetarian, a contrast highlighted by her father’s famous saying, "Erst Schinken, dann trinken!" The award ceremony also featured Herne’s mayor Dr Frank Dudda and the fair’s mascot Fritz.
