Let's start with the Ratzeputz in Berlin.

The Ratzeputz in Berlin is a popular meeting point in the German capital. Not only because they serve Ratzeputz. Its located in a part of Berlin called Neukölln.

Here are some comments from visitors:

"Very alternative, low priced. Super!"

"favourite bar!
the beer is very tasty (I didn't know before), prices are ok, the people behind the bar are super friendly (hard to find in Berlin) until now every visit was a lot of fun!
please visit it - but not all of you - it will get too crowded..  ;)"

"…finally you'll always end up in the Ratzeputz! that's my experience. prices are fair, the cocktails fresh and tasty and bartenders are extremely sympathetic (you definitely can NOT say that about other locations).the atmosphere is always very laid back and friendly, just as the people you meet there. very special: the giant bench outside. a great place to sit and have a cool beer."

"favourite bar, where you can listen to spontaneous a capella concerts in order to collect some money for the next beer ;) ratzeputz tastes soso, but you should have tried one. Guys behind the bar very sympathetic and I always like the music a lot."

So, if you believe these comments, this place is worth a visit. Whenever you're in Berlin and feel like visiting some special location, the RATZEPUTZ is the place to go.

Ratzeputz & Co.

Although C.W. Baland & Langebartels, has been and is present for many, many years and although we could have produced a wide range of spirits, it was a very early management decision to produce and distribute only a few but very high class spirits.

Before the Ratzeputz was created in 1877, Baland & Langebartels produced a juniper spirit (a kind of Gin) and other specialities, especially for the German market.

With the invention of the Ratzeputz and its worldwide success, it quickly became the main product of Baland & Langebartels. Based on the original Ratzeputz, the Ratzingwer was introduced. In order to make the portfolio of ginger liqueurs complete, the P.W. Finest Ginger Liqueur was introduced shortly afterwards. Both, the Ratzingwer as well as the P.W. Finetst Ginger Liqueur were and are still both based on the Ratzeputz and therefor have the same intense ginger taste.

Not too many years ago our portfolio was completed by the Heidegeist. This regional speciality from and for the Lüneburg Heath has become the second strongest product within a comparatively short period of time.

On the following pages we would like to introduce our specialities a little more in detail. We hop you enjoy it and maybe you will find some details about one or the other of our products, which you didn't know...
