Bad Hersfeld, Germany

die algenbauer (Algenmarkt)

Energy-self-sufficient spirulina farm heated by waste heat from biogas plant. Supplies raw-food spirulina powder, crumbles and granules as B2B raw material for food and feed.

Die algenbauer is a brand of Münsterland Algen GmbH, a family-owned company founded by Steffen Kemper, with cultivation and processing facilities in Südlohn, North Rhine-Westphalia (near the Netherlands border), approximately 130 km from Bad Hersfeld. The company grows Spirulina platensis in controlled greenhouse systems using defined water quality and source water, then processes the harvested biomass into granules, powders, and other formats at temperatures below 42°C to preserve nutrients. Product formats include powders, granules, tablets, and capsules for dietary supplements, as well as whole-food products and animal feed. The company does not hold organic certification, citing the original bio-standard's requirement for organic fertilizers unsuitable for wet-culture algae cultivation, though it states products meet high quality standards through controlled inorganic nutrient sources and laboratory analysis.
