What Nobis Printen is known for
Nobis Printen has baked Aachener Printen since 1858, alongside soft printen, bite-size printis and Aachener Domspitzen from its Charlottenburger Allee bakery. It holds Fairtrade certification and North Rhine-Westphalia's MEISTER.WERK.NRW craft award.
Nobis Printen has baked Aachener Printen -- the spiced, treacle-dark gingerbread native to the city -- since 1858, making it one of the longer-running names in Aachen's Printen trade. Its main bakery sits on Charlottenburger Allee, supplying both the bakery's own cafes and dedicated Printen specialty stores in the historic center.
The range goes beyond the classic hard biscuit: Nobis also bakes a softer printen, bite-sized "printis," and Aachener Domspitzen, alongside everyday bread, rolls and lactose-free options sold online and in-store. The business has built a modern sustainability profile onto its 19th-century roots, using Fairtrade-certified chocolate and organic coffee in its products.
That combination of tradition and certification has been recognized externally: Nobis holds the MEISTER.WERK.NRW craft award from North Rhine-Westphalia, along with DLG and GGA quality endorsements and membership in the Eifel regional producers' brand.
