Rhineland-Palatinate gourmet craftsmanship awards

Overview

In September 2026, Economic Minister Michael Ebling presented the 2026 State Honor Award for Gourmet Craftsmanship (Landesehrenpreis Genushandwerk) in Rhineland-Palatinate. The ceremony was held in Trier during the ‘Porta Locals’ food festival.

A total of 39 businesses were recognized, including 15 bakeries, 12 butcheries, six confectioneries, five ice cream manufacturers, and one brewery, Rheinhessen-Bräu GbR. The award, which is being presented for the fourth time, evaluates recipients based on criteria such as the use of regional ingredients, traditional manufacturing methods, fair wages, apprentice training, environmentally friendly packaging, and renewable energy use.

The initiative seeks to highlight regional craftsmanship and promote career opportunities within the trade. The event included a bread buffet featuring products from the winners and received support from Katarina Barley, the 2026 Ambassador of German Bread and Vice President of the European Parliament.
