Hofpfisterei

This is a chain of Bavarian bakeries from Munich that has quite a few branches in Berlin. Some, though not all of their bread and pastry products are kosher. Check the list here: http://www.chabadberlin.de/media/pdf/618/Glpu6184040.pdf

We've marked their locations in the map below.


Blue makers stand for active, red markers for inactive businesses.

Green markers stand for branches of Hofpfisterei:

Please note that you can also find some (not many) kosher products in other, not specifically Jewish business, such as the big department stores (KaDeWe, Karstadt, Galeria Kaufhof). In those places, kosher products might not be marked as such on the German labels. If you're doing your Shabbes in Berlin and looking for kosher wine for kiddush, you'll find some in the Ulrich supermarket at the West Berlin train station “Zoologischer Garten". 

You could use the lists of kosher products available in ordinary supermarkets here (in English) and here (in German)

There's also a mobile app "Kosher Scan" that allows you to check the kashrut status of products by scanning their bar codes. It's a crowd sourced project and shows only products that users have already asked about. You can take pictures of the products that aren't in the data base yet and get a notification once the question has been answered by a rabbi. He usually answeres on the same day, sometimes within a few minutes. The app is available for iOS and Android: https://kosherscan.app/index.html
