Lehrieder

What Lehrieder does

Lehrieder Event-Location-Service GmbH is a privately held German catering company headquartered at Karl-Martell-Straße 29 in Nürnberg, founded in 1971 by Ursula and Jürgen Lehrieder as a family business and reorganized in late 2020 under sole ownership of René Lehrieder following a spin-off from the original Lehrieder Catering-Party-Service GmbH & Co. KG. The company operates two integrated service lines: (i) full-service event catering for corporate galas, private celebrations, garden parties, and high-profile cultural, governmental, and motorsport events — including recurring work for clients such as the Bayerisches Staatsministerium des Innern, the Bayerische Staatskanzlei, Residenz München, the Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz, the Richard-Wagner-Festspiele Bayreuth, Klassik am Odeonsplatz, and DTM Norisring; and (ii) managed company cafeteria (Casinobetreuung) services running since the mid-1980s, currently producing approximately 200 meals/day for Lehrieders Lunch, 80 meals/day for Paessler AG (since 2014), and 50 meals/day for DSV AG (since 2009). The core technology is culinary craft execution supported by regional, seasonal sourcing from the Nürnberger Knoblauchsland and long-term local farmer relationships, with HACCP-compliant food safety standards and individualized menu engineering for dietary requirements. The commercial model is sales-led and quote-based: pricing is custom per event (no public pricing), customers engage via the company website, named direct contacts (e.g., Christina Schießl for event catering and sales), Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn channels, and dedicated phone/email. Lehrieder employs 11-50 people, operates exclusively as a regional Bavaria-focused provider, and is not backed by institutional capital.
