Familienmetzgerei Nothwang

About the Family Butcher Shop Nothwang

The family-owned butcher shop Nothwang looks back on a butchery tradition dating back to 1818 and is today run in the seventh generation by master butcher Uwe Nothwang. The company produces meat and sausage products in artisanal style, including seasonal ham specialties refined with fine natural spices in its own ham manufactory. The range also includes bratwurst specialties, grilled products from beef, pork, chicken, and lamb, homemade salads and sandwich spreads, as well as fresh-packaged specialties for the chilled shelf of food retail. Distribution takes place through five specialty stores in Neckarsulm, Mosbach, Bad Friedrichshall, and Heilbronn (two locations), through a monthly factory sale at the butcher's cold storage facility for end consumers, restaurateurs, and commercial customers, as well as through supplying the gastronomy sector. For over 40 years, the company has been a fixture of the Heilbronn Wine Village. Among its historical customers was the first German Federal President Theodor Heuss.
