Dear customers, suppliers and friends of Alfred Galke GmbH,
The year 2026 comes to a close. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your trust and for our successful cooperation. It is your trust in our products and services that forms the foundation of our success, motivating us to always give our best.
We value our partnerships with you and look forward to continuing our journey together. It is a pleasure to count you among our customers, suppliers and friends.

We have made a donation to the local Osteroder Tafel e.V.
At a time when many people are facing challenges, we believe it is our responsibility as a company to actively help and contribute something positive.
We have therefore decided to donate €3,000 to Osteroder Tafel e.V., to support those in need and provide them with some assistance during these difficult times.
We would also like to thank everyone who is contributing their resources and commitment to ensuring that people in need receive support.
Your team at Alfred Galke GmbH

Foreword - so that enthusiasm can (re-)grow. The love for the region, the passion for nature and the willingness to give everything for it: Perhaps our attitude to what we do every day can best be summed up like this.
While the whole world is talking about sustainability, here in Gittelde we look at each other in amazement: These seemingly so new maxims have always been our orientation. Only talked about it we have more less. We prefer to do. Certainly, this is also due to the fact that our raw materials would hardly be imaginable without an intact nature. Wherever they are gathered and harvested, space and time are needed to enable new growth. Live and let live.
Only those who have understood this and act accordingly ensure renewable enthusiasm and make it possible for future generations to earn a living and an income.
Greetings from Gittelde
Your Hartmut Galke and Team

Galke - inherently better. At Galke, we trade in dried herbs, spices and herbal raw materials worldwide. We process and refine these and offer our customers the corresponding services.
As an owner-managed family business with over 100 years of history and in the fourth generation, we have contacts. This enables us to import directly from the countries of origin. We also have worldwide contacts with our customers in various industries. We supply common herbal raw materials as well as unusual specialities.
Watch out, sometimes it gets wild! In many regions of the world, we resort to selective cultivation for herbs, spices and plant-based raw materials. In addition, a large part of our assortment still comes from wild collection. Experienced collectors ensure a careful and sustainable use of resources.
