All about Sausages

Being an ice-cream man hadn’t made Karl Maier really happy, so he opened up a little Snack-Stand under the name of „Maiers Karle“. There he sold „Bratwuerste“ and Drinks which helped him to make the business grow. So he had been able to expand.

The name "Göckelesmaier“ was invented during a meeting with business friends, which had been attended by more than only one "Maier“. To distinguish the "Maiers“ from one another, someone called Karl Maier the "Goeckeles-Maier“ .That was not only the beginning of the "Goeckelesmaier“ success story, but from this moment on everyone knew who was meant when referred to the „Goeckelesmaier“. Karl Maier and his company. What a great name and logically from that moment on the name of the company.

"Chicken-Wings" to Success

Business is growing fast and new opportunties are arising every day. Besides running his own "Festzelt“ Karl Maier has become the main contactor for the „Volksfeste“ in Tübingen, Ulm and Heilbronn. The highlight of the season undoubtedly is the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart. There he’s already become the host in Stuttgart’s "Hofbräu Brewery“ tent.
