– About us –
Hello! We are the family Wiechering-Sudmann.
We live and work on the establishment Wiechering-Sudmann Holsteins in St. Hülfe.
To our family belong the two founders of the establishment, Lisa Wiechering and her husband Friedrich Wiechering. Their daughter Anke Wiechering-Sudmann and her husband Heinfried Sudmann with their sons Eike and Cedric Sudmann ans also Eike's wife Miriam.
Currently we cultivate 500ha and own 1000 dairy cows together. How we developed this much can be read in different histories about the establishment.
Our philosophy is: Only a healthy calf makes a healthy cow.
Anja Wischmann
Jakub Kolata
Michael Thies
Since 2015 Anja has cared conscientiously about the flock management and the health of every single cow. Her daughter Paula supports her very energetically.
Jakub is a member of our team since March 2018. His good mood leads to a radiant atmosphere in the whole milking team.
Michael has been responsible for the breeding of the calfs since 2011-you could say, everything started with him. Besides that, Michael is a skilled carpenter, what makes him kind of an "all-round talent", which we do not want to miss.

We like to call Andreas "the ruler of the biogas plant". As a skilled chemist, installer and heating engineer he is not only familiar with every kind of bacteria, also with every kind of screw.
Since 2011 Siggi has been in action for any work on the yard and in the sheds relentlessly.
