The initiator of the award was Eberhard Paech (1910 - 2000), whose life goal was to realise his dream of high-quality bread. For him, bread was the most important staple food, a living thing, an essential part of everyday life and culture. His creativity, his pioneering spirit and his ability to connect overall social developments with the practicalities of the industry, along with his ability to combine the ideas of many, made him a pioneer and an ambassador for producing good bread. In 2000 he handed over the foundation to the 'Vereinigung Der Backbranche e.V.'

Applications and proposals will be evaluated by a jury consisting of practitioners, academics and business representatives throughout the baking industry.   

The tender documents can be obtained from the Board of Trustees of the foundation, at
