Keep - I thought this would be a reasonable AfD given the article, but it turns out there are a number of sources as well as one that indicates there is also a TV show - an argument that a good
WP:BEFORE check has to check foreign-based articles in both languages. Sources (in no particular order) include:
Source 1,
Source 2,
Source 3,
Source 4,
Source 5. There are others that a quick look can find. I reckon at least 3 of these tick the boxes (obviously my knowledge of german news sources isn't widespread).

Comment Equally, there's an argument for a good old check on the relevant
WP:NCORP guidelines (which have been recently revised) and required "intellectually independent" references. None of the references you've provided meet this requirement.

Comment: In the TV show
Frag doch mal die Maus Bäckerei Josef Hinkel and Bäckerei Michael Hinkel are two of nine bakeries from Düsseldorf which take part in baking a gingerbread house: “Bäckerei Josef Hinkel, Hercules Vollkorn- und Mühlenbäckerei, Bäckerei Pass, Bäckerei Schüren, Bäckerei Kapust, Stadtbäcker Westerhorstmann, Bäckerei Behmer, Bäckerei Michael Hinkel und die Bäckerei Puppe.”

Delete The sources identified by
Nosebagbear and added to the article by AmorymeltzerEastmain are not "intellectually independent" and therefore fail
WP:ORGIND.
This rp-online.de reference repeats a post on the company's Facebook page (PRIMARY source) and fails ORGIND.
This backwelt.de reference has no attributed journalist and is simply an ad or announcement for a TV show with a photo of Josef Hinkel. The company is a mere mention-in-passing with no in-depth information. Fails
WP:CORPDEPTH. The
tonight.de reference is a local guide to someone's "5 favorite shops in Dusseldorf" and provides a profile of the Hinkels and some of the products but does not provide any in-depth information on the company and fails
WP:CORPDEPTH. The
ekathimerini.com reference relies entirely on an interview with Stavros whose bread is available in the Hinkel bakery and also relies on interview/quotation from Hinkel. It contains no intellectually independent information or analysis and fails
WP:CORPDEPTH and
WP:ORGIND. Finally,
the derwesten.de reference is an ad for "kiffer krust" bread (made with hemp) which was presented on the bakery's Facebook page. Fails both
WP:CORPDEPTH and
WP:ORGIND. Overall, it appears that the Hinkel Bakery is popular and much loved in Dusseldorg for its excellent bread but that doesn't translate to an organization that meets the criteria for notability. Topic fails GNG and
WP:NCORP.

Eastmain Unless the TV program was actually about the bakery, then it isn't an indicator of notability. The fact is, the TV program was about craft bakers from the Düsseldorf area baking a huge gingerbread house. That might make the gingerbread house notable (maybe it broke records?) but it doesn't make the bakers notable.

I'm not sure how large a population is needed before its coverage becomes wide enough (regardless of geographical size). For example, my (UK) countywide paper is considered reliable, and its population is only about 5% more than Dusseldorf's.

Tonight is just an online portal of Rheinische Post which isn't published in print. Five bakeries from Düsseldorf are mentioned: Bulle, Hinkel, isabella, Puppe and Terbuyken.

The TV show
Frag doch mal die Maus shows a short documentary film about baking a gingerbread house. Nine local bakeries from Düsseldorf were involved: Josef Hinkel, Michael Hinkel which belong to the founder of Hinkel bakery and seven other bakeries, Hercules, Pass, Schüren, Kapust, Westerhorstmann, Behmer and Puppe. (“Beteiligt sind: Bäckerei Josef Hinkel, Hercules Vollkorn- und Mühlenbäckerei, Bäckerei Pass, Bäckerei Schüren, Bäckerei Kapust, Stadtbäcker Westerhorstmann, Bäckerei Behmer, Bäckerei Michael Hinkel und die Bäckerei Puppe.”) Bäckerei means bakery.

Response True, but just to point out that you haven't pointed to any policies to support your argument.
WP:GNG and
WP:NCORP are the guidelines for corporations/organizations and your link above fails since it is not significant coverage and isn't even about the bakery but about one of the bakers. Your reference fails
WP:SIGCOV and
WP:CORPDEPTH. Also, two references are required that meet the criteria for establishing notability and so far, we don't have any.

Lovely strawman argument - I never said they were policies. But they are the relevant guidelines which provide clarification on how to interpret our policies and are accepted by the community as such. You can call them "mere guidelines" if you like but they're considered an excellent standard by which to measure notability of articles such as this one. I'll leave it to the closing admin to make sense and understand the relevance of the policies you've listed above.

Comment I don't see a clear argument this article must be kept or deleted. Coverage of this bakery as one of nine that baked a gingerbread house is clearly trivial, and
this is a PR gimmick. Other coverage (such as
