Construction workers in particular are known to\u00a0drop the hammer at\u00a09am sharp for their Brotzeit, no matter what. After that, the walls tend to be a bit off balance. But since German houses are build to last forever, it doesn&#8217;t really matter.<\/p>\n<p>Brotzeit originated\u00a0among laborers in Germany, who\u00a0performed physically demanding work and regularly turned to quick, frequent meals.\u00a0A cold snack was typically eaten between hot meals. In the 1920s, Germany saw the development of industrial\u00a0canteens that would serve employees hot lunches. It wasn\u2019t deemed necessary to have another hot meal at home in the evenings, so many would turn dinner into Abendbrot, i.e. another Brotzeit in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Brotzeit is\u00a0popular in Bavarian beer gardens. In 1812, Maximilian I of Bavaria issued a proclamation allowing beer brewers to serve beer\u00a0directly to the public\u00a0during summer, but not any other kind of food. This\u00a0created\u00a0the custom of\u00a0patrons bringing\u00a0their own food to the biergarten \u2013 something simple that could be enjoyed with bread. To this day,\u00a0Bavarian\u00a0biergarten law\u00a0entitles customers\u00a0to bring and eat their own food, free of any surcharges or table fees. Just like the German beer purity law (Reinheitsgebot), the Brotzeit law helps keep good traditions alive, which otherwise would fall victim to relentless commercialization.<\/p>\n<p>If this short blog post has made your mouth water for German bread, then we have you covered.
