A Baking House for Your Village

Back to the roots is on everyone's lips. The current world crises show that it makes sense to at least in some areas, return to the original. Strengthen the community in the immediate environment, because cohesion also means security in the event of unexpected events. The topics of village community, village life, village development are important. Many villages want to return to the baking house, want to organize baking days and build or expand a club life. Often there are still old, dilapidated or neglected baking houses. These are jewels that can often be revived with united efforts. And we explain how that works.

If there is still an old baking house in your village that is worth renovating, and a club with many helping hands is available, then the conditions are good. If the ownership issues are clarified, you need expert guidance or ambitious amateur craftsmen and the means for the material. Often stones need to be replaced. And not to forget: the chimney sweep must approve the fireplace. More on funding opportunities for baking houses and baking house clubs below.

All over Germany, we receive inquiries from clubs wanting to build baking houses. We offer wood oven kits in various sizes and shapes. They provide an affordable way to create a high-quality oven through self-effort. Initially, of course, there are fundamental questions: 

Our kits come from Italy, produced and manufactured there. No goods from China. Our supplier Valoriani uses only the best raw materials, the composition of the fireclay bricks and dome parts is a secret recipe passed down through generations. This quality and craftsmanship is the great advantage. We recommend and deliver the perfect insulation material and expert and personal advice. We also offer various services. 

There are several ways to finance a baking house. Many clubs have sufficient expert and financial reserves for the acquisition of the oven and the construction by self-effort. In addition, there are of course possibilities such as collecting donations for the baking house, organizing festivals or taking advantage of funding. This route involves some effort. But there is a good overview page where you can search for funding programs using keywords. It differentiates between regional funding opportunities of the federal states and European funding. The application is all the easier, the closer the funding source is. A municipal or state aid is easier to obtain than money from a European fund. But can be interesting if the project has a certain scope. Here is the link to the database to search for funding opportunities: Funding database of the Federal Ministry of Economics.
