Origin

A family businessthird generation.

Trautmann's butcher shop has been located at Hauptstraße 119 in Mannheim-Feudenheim since 1961. Run as a family business, now in its third generation, it offers over 250 specialties made in-house.

In addition, they have their own dry-aging ripening chamber, game from their own hunting grounds in the Odenwald forest, and a master butcher who is also trained as a meat sommelier — certified by the Augsburg Butchers' Academy.

Why EMBER

Why the cateringgets its own name.

The barbecue catering business has grown out of the butcher shop over the years — with over 250 events since 2020 and more than 15,000 guests served. It's no longer a side service, but a craft in its own right: planning, setup, live cooking, and service throughout the entire evening.

A butcher shop sells meat. EMBER organizes evenings. Both belong together — but not under the same name.

Trautmann remains the craftsman.
The experience will be EMBER.

Four things that carryevery EMBER event.

Craftsmanship

It all starts in the butcher shop: in-house production, in-house cutting, in-house maturation.

Fire

OFYR, smoker and BEEFER are included. Cooking takes place in front of the guests, not behind a wall.

Quality

Regional partners, game from our own hunting grounds and the selection of a meat sommelier.
