History

[edit]

Oswald R. Schubert, a German immigrant, founded Schubert's Bakery in 1911 on Fillmore Street near McAllister Street. When Schubert retired, he sold the business to a baker named Fred Kreye.[6]

As the bakery's popularity grew, Kreye needed a larger space to meet the increasing demand. In the 1948, he moved the bakery to its current location on Clement Street.[6] He owned and operated Schubert's until June 1, 1969, when he sold it to Hilmar and Annie Maier.[2][6]

The Maiers ran the bakery until they decided to sell it to Ralph and Lutz Wenzel, who were employees and recent German immigrants. The Wenzel brothers couldn't secure a bank loan so the Maiers offered a loan for the sale. They took ownership in 1995.[2]

Lutz Wenzel retired in 2012, leaving Ralph Wenzel and his wife, Valerie, to run the business.[2][7]

In 2019, the business was designated as a legacy business by San Francisco's Office of Small Business.[3]
