The Ways Bakery in Moosinning has reopened: the new tenant wants to turn the shop into a meeting place for the town.

Moosinning

– For a long time, the bakeries on the village street in Moosinning and the main street in Eichenried were deserted after Ludovic Gerboin withdrew.

But in the past few weeks, life has returned to both rooms.

While the Backharmonie has recently been established in Eichenried, the name Bäckerei Ways will remain in Moosinning under the new tenant Haydar Günel.

The 38-year-old Turk Günel has been living in Munich with his wife Meltem and their three children for many years.

"I come from the gastro, worked in the hotel for a long time and recently ran my own breakfast café," he says.

He does not know his predecessor in Moosinning, and consequently he has not had any contact with him.

"I became aware of the shop via the Internet and finally decided to lease it."

It is hard work that the 38-year-old does.

He is open seven days a week, Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 6.30 a.m. to 12 p.m. – and he runs the shop all by himself.

“My wife helps me from time to time, but maybe an assistant will join us soon,” he hopes.

Günel gets part of his goods from the Ratschiller company, and he prepares the rest in small ovens.

And then there are the tarts and cakes.

"I bake them all myself," says the 38-year-old proudly.

And they are now in great demand, he adds.

He sells between six and eight cakes and tarts a day.

He also regularly has quiches on offer – he also makes them himself.

He will not do experiments like his predecessor, who, among other things, made yeast oil from old pastries as a substitute for palm oil and sold seaweed bread.

So far, Günel is “very satisfied” with the business, as he says.

"In the morning it's going great, in the afternoon it could be a bit better."

In order to boost business even further and turn the bakery into a small meeting place, he will soon be renovating.

"In February or March I will redesign the store a bit," explains the 38-year-old.

"The oven will be at the back, there will be a few bar tables in addition to the previous seating options, and then I would also like to offer breakfast."

Günel is enthusiastic about his customers, most of whom come from the municipality of Moosinning.

"They're all very nice," he says, adding with a laugh: "I'm used to something completely different from Munich." Isn't he considering moving from Munich to Moosinning?

"Well, I like it in the village, I would move immediately," says the 38-year-old.

"But my wife is a city fan." And Haydar Günel adds with a smile: "Maybe I can persuade her at some point."
