Munich “Handmade Quality” is our latest book out of the Makers Bible series. A compact city guide in pocket book format, which leads to handmade, genuine and passionate quality in Munich.
The Makers Bible Guide for Munich will be published with the beginning of november 2020 in German language and contains a large number of real craftsmen and craftswomen who still produce in their city. Dedicated retailers with an assortment of products similar to that of makers & crafters will complete the experience, and restaurants, cafés and Delicatessen shops, whose offerings are handmade, fresh and with a high percentage of local ingredients, will also be part of the delights we personally curate.
The guide offers its readers a selection of places, addresses and themes to help them to discover Munich afresh and again. We hope that even Munich’s residents will discover workshops, shops and restaurants that they did not know before and that they will make one or two unforgettable discoveries.
With the campaign on Kickstarter we are going to start to finance part of the production of the book Munich “Handmade Quality”. Especially the high quality printing and parts of the online presentation, a free and user-friendly website that allows navigation to makers & crafters, craftsmen, dealers and gastronomy. Of course, in 2020 nothing will ever be the same again, which is why we also see the guide as a tool to support those who make things in the most honest way possible: with their own hands.
We contribute the extensive part of curating and designing from our own budget and hope for good sales after the book is published.
JOURNAL. What you might want to know…
Doing something by hand can change a lot. Buying something handmade out of conviction can do the same. It changes – or has already changed – the way we think. Especially when it comes to our food. What do we buy? Who made it? What can we perhaps grow ourselves? How do our actions and decisions change, first ourselves, then our purchases, then the landscape?
Every sourdough – that culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water – is unique, like a fingerprint, because in every region there are individual bacteria in the air that give each loaf its very own flavour. One person who knows more about the infinite variety of sourdough cultures than most – whose culture is culture, so to speak – is the Belgian Karl De Smedt, keeper and archivist of Europe’s only sourdough library.
It’s virtually impossible to miss Julius Brantner Brothandwerk if you’re a fan of baked goods and find yourself in Munich. The charming Swabian baker has recently opened his second location, the first being such a success. With his team working transparently behind large glass windows, Julius strives to make “honest and trustworthy handling of all ingredients and processes accessible,” he says. Unsurprisingly, locals and tourists flock to the shopfront to sample their aromatic bread and delectable treats.
