“The Malt Queen” by Heike Bauer-Banzhaf

The company of our fourth newsletter sponsor Sabine Weyermann is world-famous. With her commissioned book “Die Malzkönigin” (The Malt Queen) about the eventful history of her family, she now also offers a very private insight into the world of the “Weyerleute” – the world of the “Weyermann women” – who are strongly influenced by women.

The biographical-fictional narrative from the perspective of the spirit of one of Sabine Weyermann’s ancestors jumps through the past 500 years into the future: to the 150th anniversary of Weyermann® Malt in May 2029. A little thriller develops here. But the essentials are the always very private moments, thoughts, anecdotes and life wisdom of the actual protagonist. They make you want to actually see Sabine Weyermann once in one of her company-branded red and yellow outfits, to greet the metal dogs in the driveway to the Weyermann villa and to taste her husband’s pineapple cake.

In order to create a lasting memorial to one’s family, their origins and their philosophy, and to leave numerous memories for future generations, the form of a biographical fictional story is an exceptional, multi-faceted and profound approach. At the end, the reader has the feeling that he knows the whole family, their history, what moves them and what is important to Sabine Weyermann in particular, including her attitude to life and business. The fact that female potential is still underestimated in all areas forms not only her personal, secret thread, but also that of the story “The Malt Queen”.

The book by Heike Bauer-Banzhaf has also been published as an audio book. Both products can be ordered as a set in the Weyermann online store.
