Ditsch

Ditsch is a German chain of pretzel bars also selling croissants and pizza snacks. It operates approximately 200 outlets in Germany but over the 2010s it also traded in the United Kingdom with up to 13 outlets there at its height. Since 2012, Ditsch has been part of the Valora group.
The founder’s son, Heinz Ditsch, also a master baker, took the bakery into its second generation. He perfected his father’s recipe, and soon Ditsch pretzels were famous well beyond the borders of Mainz. In order to meet the growing demand, “Pretzelmen” in white clothing were walking around Mainz and offering fresh pretzels in baskets in the streets and restaurants. In the mid-1970s, Heinz Ditsch specialised in the manufacture of his very successful pretzel pastries.
