Price increase for daily meals: Schorndorf butchers in focus!
Prices for daily meals in Schorndorf have increased in recent months, as confirmed by several butcher shops in the city. Christian Wolz, co-managing director of the Wolz butcher shop on Rehhaldenweg, is one of them and reports increasing demand among customers. Especially at lunchtime, many people are drawn to his butcher shop, which, among other dishes, also offers lasagne to take away. During a shopping conversation with an older gentleman about World Cup games, the friendly and family atmosphere of the butcher's shop becomes apparent, which is also underlined by the customers serenading his wife on her birthday [zvw.de].
From May 19th to May 23rd, 2025, the Fritz butcher's shop offers a diverse selection of daily meals, ranging from meatloaf with potato gratin to a Swabian plate. Prices range from 5.80 euros for a butcher burger to 9.50 euros for various main courses. This also includes popular options like chicken breast in curry sauce and currywurst. In addition to the daily meals, various snacks such as grilled pork knuckles and various sausage salads are also offered, as listed on metzgerei-fritz.de.
Gastronomy is an important economic factor
The catering industry in Germany has a significant influence on the economy, with the majority of sales revenue in the hospitality industry coming from the catering industry itself. According to Statista, record sales of over 67 billion euros were achieved in the catering industry in 2022. This industry includes classic restaurants, cafes, bars, takeaways and other food services and has proven to be a popular pastime. Around 60 percent of couples, young adults and families enjoy eating out, which underlines the importance of gastronomy.
A look at the structure of the industry shows that there are around 61,500 restaurants, 35,500 snack bars and almost 31,150 bars and entertainment venues in Germany. In total, around 1.1 million people are employed in the hospitality industry subject to social security contributions, as are many trainees in professions such as cooks or hotel specialists. Given the growing trend towards plant-based nutrition and the pressing issue of sustainability, the catering industry is facing new challenges.
In summary, the increased prices for daily meals in Schorndorf not only affect the local butcher shops, but also fit into the larger context of German gastronomy, which is of great importance both economically and culturally.
