Chronicle
Wilhelm Bannaski founded the company at the beginning of the twenties in Koenigsberg/Ostpreussen. He started with a butcher's
shop with 6-8 employees which was quite big for that time and after abt. 6-7 years he had also a slaughter house at the slaughter
house premises of Koenigsberg. At the end of the thirties meat was delivered to the army.
After the war Wilhelm Bannaski came to Hamburg and he started again successfully at the Hamburger slaughter house with
a small shop. His son died during the war, but his daughter in law and her second husband, the butcher Richard Holzhütter, assisted him.
After the death of Wilhlm Bannaski his daughter in law, Gertrud Holzhütter, and her husband, Richard, became the Owners and they specialised in cutting of sows. It was a small company with two trained workers. Again the Owners changed and the nephew Frank Holzhütter became Owner of the company in October 1975. Under his leadership the small company quickly developed to a well reputated specialist for sow cutting in Hamburg.
