The world's kitchen centre
Löhne/Westphalia
The idea
What makes Löhne different from other towns? The question was raised by Kurt Quernheim at a meeting of the OWL-Marketing company in March and spontaneously answered on a sheet of paper: Löhne – the kitchen centre. The representatives of six Löhne kitchen manufacturing companies were delighted with the mayor's idea. But they felt it was not sufficiently comprehensive. And so the slogan now proudly claims "Löhne – the world's kitchen centre“.
Background
Indeed, nowhere else in the world will you find so many famous kitchen manufacturers gathered together in such a small area. They provide jobs for 2,000 people here, plus another 1,000 in the supplying industry in Löhne. One in four jobs in Löhne is directly related to kitchen production.
