Christian and Rosmarie Dubi spent over 30 years behind the counter and in the bakery and have now retired to their well-deserved retirement. Andrea Wehren from Schönried now also takes over the management in Gstaad. “It’s a family story,” explains Rosmarie Dubi about the business handover.

A little family history
The origin of both shops – in Gstaad and Schönried – goes back to the baker Gottlieb Dubi, who bought the well-known Dubihus in Ebnit and whose wife Emilie gave birth to 25 children.

Jules Dubi, the fourth child, also learned the baking trade and opened his bakery in 1916 in Schönried. As the 25th child, Christian Dubi learned the bakery profession from his big brother in Schönried and opened his bakery in Ebnit, Gstaad in 1932. Both bakeries were then working as independent companies.

In 1941 the family business in Schönried was continued by daughter Elly and son-in-law Gottfried Wehren and handed over in 1974 to the next generation, Vreni and Ernst Wehren.

The bakery in Gstaad was taken over in 1963 by Heinz and Lina Dubi. These in turn handed the line in 1989 to Rosmarie and Christian Dubi.

At the end of 1998, the two branches of the family reunited their businesses to form what was then called Wehren & Dubi AG. Soon after, the family has agreed on the common name today Chnusper-Becke.

In Gstaad
With daughter Andrea Wehren from the Schönried family branch, the company remains in family hands. She manages the business at both locations.
