About the history of Kölln

Kölln's history stretches back to 1795, when Hans Hinrich Kölln acquired a horse-driven grain mill in Elmshorn, northern Germany, supplying ship's biscuits to seafarers. His son Peter Kölln officially founded the company in 1820, establishing what would become Germany's most respected oat brand.

The company's great breakthrough came in 1920—exactly 100 years after its founding—with the introduction of Köllnflocken: the first oat flakes available in household packaging. This innovation transformed German breakfast habits and created a lasting demand for quality oat products that Kölln has served ever since.

Today, Kölln remains an entirely family-owned business, headquartered in Elmshorn where it all began. Its oat flakes, porridge ranges and muesli blends represent the gold standard of German breakfast quality. For health-conscious Germans in the UK seeking proper oats with genuine provenance, Kölln is the obvious choice.
