At the family-run Lechner bakery in Marbach an der Donau, the son is taking over the business after 30 years. And in Thaya, sister duo Kasses are the fourth generation to carry on their father's passion as "slow bakers".

The son of the same name takes over the business in the Melk district from his father Peter Lechner. Because that's where you go to Lechner, where regional raw materials and delicacies are processed and traded. Neo-chef Peter Lechner Jr. and his siblings Verena and Paul want to continue with this concept. Father and son agree that the handover of the business should be celebrated in style.

As reported, Lena and Laura Kasses in the Waidhofen an der Thaya district, who are Austria's first certified "Slow Baker", continue to work in the spirit of their father Erich, striving for the highest quality. They also supply the Meinl branch on Graben in Vienna.
