Meister
Joda
Welcome to Johannes Dackweiler, alias MEISTER JODA.
Having moved here of my own free will from Lake Constance, and now a Düsseldorfer by choice, I love being able to work for you.
My cheerful Rhineland spirit is known far beyond the Düsseldorf carnival, because Düsseldorf is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where urban life comes first.
What I brought with me when I took over the long-established Hercules organic bakery was, besides my wonderful wife Maria, my expertise as a trained master baker and chef – and the ability to hold on until the bread is baked.
According to gourmets, one of the secrets from my apprenticeship in Stuttgart was making what are probably the most digestible pretzel breads around.
Their flour too is milled gently here in our own Hercules air-stream mill, just like all the other flours for our entire range of organic baked goods.
All of it to preserve the valuable nutrients – as delicious prevention against pesky common ailments.

Maybe that's also why our baking classes are so popular – there's always a great vibe, and my expertise as a certified bread sommelier helps me pass my knowledge on to you.

Working
with Friends

After numerous contributions to bread and baking books with colleagues such as Johann Lafer, we managed to create a joint specialist book with Germany's leading nutritional physician and bestselling author, Prof. Dr. Michaela Axt-Gadermann. Its title:
FIT & SCHLANK MIT BROT

Of course you can get our book online with one click on the picture or directly from our dear colleagues in bookshops – but also fresh from the oven and signed over the counter at our Hercules organic bakery on Ulmenstraße 120 in beautiful Düsseldorf on the Rhine.

As an ambassador of the Solingen knife makers NESMUK, I love showing in my baking classes how to handle sharp tools, so that everyone still has all their fingers in the evening ...
Only together are we strong, no matter how much melanin is in our skin.
