Beware of the mix-up!

At the beginning of January 2024, the research portal Correctiv.org published an important piece of news that could unfortunately lead to confusion: This is about the distinction between us, the Hans im Glück publishing house, and the Hans im Glück restaurant franchise. More precisely, it was about a co-founder of the franchise, which in some places became ‘The owner of Hans im Glück’. The details are clear, but various channels picked up the news without making a distinction between us and the burger chain.

Roughly speaking, it was about a fascist meeting of ultra-right-wing actors to deport people.

We condemn this form of human behaviour in the strongest possible terms and expressly distance ourselves from the statements, participants and associations discussed there.

Under ‘About us’ and ‘Social commitment’ you can read that we have been campaigning for the exact opposite for years, and not for the destruction of our society. In this case, the ‘owner of Hans im Glück’ is certainly not our owner and we would be pleased if this is not seen as the same person and the same company.
