In Aachen since 1858

What began as a small bakery on Pontstraße has grown into 46 bakeries and cafés around Aachen. We still bake our Printen ourselves.

  1. The Nobis bakery on Pontstraße around 1910
    1858

    Master baker Johannes Michael Nobis opens his bakery on Pontstraße.

  2. Josef Nobis bakery on Sandkaulstraße, 1926
    1923

    His son Josef Nobis opens a second bakery on Sandkaulstraße.

  3. Nobis Printen on Oppenhoffallee
    1932

    Heinz and Netty Nobis open the shop on today’s Oppenhoffallee – the oldest Nobis shop.
