After about six months of construction, Bauerngut's new logistics center in Bückeburg has taken visible shape: On June 6, Edeka Minden-Hannover and its subsidiary Bauerngut celebrated the topping-out ceremony at the future location "Am Hasengarten" in Bückeburg, together with Mayor Axel Wohlgemuth, representatives of the city of Bückeburg and the Schaumburg district as well as numerous guests from business, politics, and society.
With an investment volume of around 180 million euros, the project is, according to Edeka Minden-Hannover, one of the largest in the company's history. A logistics hub for the
storage and picking of fresh and refrigerated food is being built on the 54,000 square meter site. The building complex covers around 28,000 square meters of operational space across three levels. The commissioning of the new logistics center is planned for the first quarter of 2028.
In the new logistics center, employees will in the future store and pick fresh, refrigerated products such as meat, sausage, cheese as well as vegetarian and convenience products from the neighboring production plant for the markets. The logistics center will provide space for approximately 140,000
Euro containers. About 80 new jobs will be created in the first phase of expansion, and up to 130 in full operation.
“This logistics center is much more than a construction project: it lays the groundwork for delivering to our markets more efficiently, faster, and fresher—at the highest quality level,” said Mark Rosenkranz, spokesperson for the board of EDEKA Minden-Hannover. “It is a central component of our strategic development and a clear commitment to the Bückeburg location.”
They are primarily investing there in supply security, local value creation, and good jobs
for the future.
According to the company, the building is operated 100 percent with renewable energies—via industrial heat pumps, waste heat recovery, green electricity, and a photovoltaic system with around 870 kilowatt peak power, covering over 50 percent of various roof areas. There are 60 power connections available for emission-free pre and post-cooling of parked trucks.
