Trump's Days Are Numbered in the Palatinate - Trump's Days Are Numbered in the Palatinate
A well-known bakery in Freinsheim, Germany, will shut its doors by the end of 2025. The Trump bakery gained fame during U.S. elections for its themed cakes and pastries. Its closure ends a quirky tourist spot linked to former President Donald Trump.
The bakery’s former owner, Ursula Trump, was a distant relative of Donald Trump—specifically, a seventh-generation descendant. This connection drew visitors, especially during U.S. presidential campaigns. Tourists flocked to take photos with items like the ‘Trump Slice’ cake, turning the shop into a minor attraction.
Stadtbäckerei Frankenthal, the new operator, has now decided to close the branch. Financial struggles and stiff competition from nearby bakeries led to the decision. The move marks the end of a business that once stood out for its unusual political ties. The closure was announced for late 2025, giving customers and fans a final chance to visit before it disappears for good.
With the bakery’s shutdown, Freinsheim loses a unique landmark that blended local baking with international politics. The decision reflects broader challenges in the retail food sector. For now, the ‘Trump Slice’ and other themed treats will remain part of the town’s recent history.
