Konrad Böhnlein

What Konrad Böhnlein does

Konrad Böhnlein GmbH is a traditional Franconian butcher and meat processing company headquartered in Bamberg, Germany. Founded in 1984 and operating with a headcount of 1-10 employees under Managing Director Manfred Eisenberger, the company produces handcrafted Franconian meat and sausage specialties (Fränkische Fleisch- & Wurstspezialitäten) at a single production facility on Lichtenhaidestrasse. Its core technology is artisanal German butchery refined over generations, now validated by an IFS Food Version 8 certification at 90.29%.

The company distributes through four parallel channels. Direct-to-consumer retail is served by the Frischeladen (fresh store) and Werksverkauf (factory outlet) in Bamberg, supplemented by a nationwide e-commerce shop called Heimatversand built on WooCommerce with UPS-powered chilled shipping and payment via PayPal and Klarna. A B2B Großhandel (wholesale) division supplies retailers, restaurants, and food-service operators, while Heimatküche provides corporate catering including Meeting & Büro Catering. Award-winning SKUs include K\u00e4sekrainer, Böhnleins Krustenschinken, and Leberwurst fein im Naturdarm (3× Gold at Bayerischer Metzger Cup 2026); seasonal lines such as Bärlauch Bratwurst and Bärlauch Fleischkäse run in spring.

Revenue is generated through unit-level food sales across retail, e-commerce, wholesale, and catering. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with free-shipping thresholds of €50 (Werksverkauf/Frischeladen web orders) and €80 (Heimatversand). Customer segments are horizontal — individual consumers, business wholesale buyers, and corporate catering clients — with no publicly disclosed revenue figure. Marketing spans organic social (Instagram, Facebook), email newsletters via CleverReach, SEO/content marketing, and local sports sponsorship (Freak City Bamberg e.V.).
