Cheese with tradition
from Radeberg/Saxonia
Heinrichsthaler Milchwerke GmbH in Radeberg near Dresden is one of the leading German cheese manufacturers with a long tradition. Founded in 1880 as a dairy in idyllic Heinrichsthal, the company produced the first German Camembert in 1884. As the Radeberg dairy cooperative, the company was the largest producer of soft, semi-hard and hard cheese in the GDR.
At Heinrichsthaler, we bear responsibility – and we do so consciously and gladly. It starts with our milk, which we source from farmers in the region, and ends with the packaging in the shop. In addition, we maintain our own beehives on the Heinrichsthaler dairy site and have planted numerous trees. Sustainable management is important to us – as is animal welfare.

We bear responsibility – and we do so consciously. It starts with our milk, which we buy from farmers in the region, and ends with the packaging in the shop. For example, we have our own beehives on the Heinrichsthal dairy property. In addition, 250 trees of various kinds have been planted, which have a special significance for insects. Sustainable management is important to us – as is a focus on animal welfare.

Agathe Zeis & the Camembert
How it all began!
In 1880, Agathe Zeis founded the Heinrichsthal dairy as a model and training dairy for agricultural daughters. Her husband managed the dairy farms in Bautzen and Löbau, which she had also founded. In the following seven years, young girls from the surrounding area and further afield were educated in the training dairy. The school gradually developed from an educational institution into a prosperous production business from 1886 onwards.
