Seed & Greet – that’s the name of „Bäcker Schüren‘s“ new café-bistro-bakery in the motorway junction Hilden industrial estate, with Tesla Supercharger, Fastned fast charging station and NIO Power Swap Station. Enjoy our breakfast offer, pizza specialities, Ofinis, savoury tarts and organic coffee and tea specialities – all available to take away, of course! You can also enjoy sandwiches, bread and cakes from „Bäcker Schüren“ and a large selection of cream cakes from „Bäckerei Naber“.
Are you hungry and thirsty, but the café is closed? No problem! We have recently become the proud owner of the Marktbox – a drinks and snack vending machine filled to the brim with tasty treats. Apart from various drinks, you can choose snacks and pastries such as oat cookies, biker bars or banana bread. There is also the option of buying various breads.
The market box is located in the foyer of our café and is freely accessible 24/7. Only card payment (Girocard, Visa, V-Pay, Mastercard, Maestro) is possible.

The competition has been decided: Seed & Greet is the third best charging park in the world!
Over the past few months, an international jury of experts initially selected ten finalists. After that, company representatives from all over the world were able to vote online for the best EV hub. The result was finally announced on 9 May 2024:
1st place: DCC, Certas Energy, Mandal, Norway – 16 DC fast / 20 AC normal charging stations
1st place: Circle K’s, Vädermotet, Sweden – 12 DC fast charging stations
1st place: Seed & Greet, Hilden, Germany – 62 DC fast / 45 AC normal charging points
We are the only charging park in the top three that is not backed by an international group and is exclusively an electric charging park. We are very proud of this and see it as an incentive for our future development.

But how exactly does it work?
Ask the sales staff in the shop about the „Erntekarte“ before your next purchase. You can then purchase it for EUR 1.50 and receive 150 points starting credit as a thank you gift. With this starting credit, you could soon get a delicious croissant au chocolat, for example. Or you can continue to collect points and at a later date get a super-sharp Solingen bread knife, a free AC charge or a high-quality olive oil from Jordan.
Thanks to the regularly changing list of rewards, collecting points never gets boring.
The best is saved for last: no registration is necessary for the „Erntekarte“. We simply write your name on the card and only your purchase with us is saved. With the „Erntekarte“, nobody is a transparent customer or advertising medium.
Important for your purchase:
As the „Erntekarte“ is anonymous, no points can be added to it. It is therefore important that you hand the harvest card to the sales staff before your purchases are entered into the till.
We wish you a really good harvest!
A very special building is being built step by step in several construction phases on the Nordpark road, which combines the three most climate-relevant sectors in an extremely sustainable way: Food production, energy generation and mobility. Experts call this sector coupling. Of course, energy production is renewable energy and mobility is electric mobility. When food production through baking is added to this, you begin to realise who is behind this Hilden lighthouse project. Together with selected investors, master baker Roland Schüren is constructing a five-storey building on the 12,000 square metre commercial site.
Beneath huge photovoltaic systems and two small wind turbines, not only a large café-bistro-bakery is being built, but also a speciality bakery, offices and a vertical farm over four floors. This will be used to grow lettuce and berries, for example, which will be processed directly on site into small dishes and fresh cakes.
So this is not just about food production through baking, but also about food production through sowing, growing and harvesting. Seed! And what about Greet? What about mobility? – All guests, regardless of how they arrive, and electric car drivers are welcomed by Seed & Greet’s own normal charging stations and by two very powerful fast-charging networks that offer their services throughout Europe: Tesla and Fastned.
The Americans and the Dutch are each building their largest and currently fastest charging stations in the European Union under Seed & Greet’s photovoltaic roofs. Together with all tenants in the building, Tesla and Fastned are utilising the electricity generated on site as intensively as possible, supplemented with stored electricity (2 MW) and green electricity from the grid. This is sector coupling in practice, which is supplemented within the five-storey bakery and office building, for example, with heat recovery, rainwater and secondary use of service water.
