history

The history of Nuremberg gingerbread can be traced back to the end of the 15th century.

Haeberlein was a pioneer in factory production in the age of industrialization . In 1840 a steam engine was put into operation. Thus, the increased demand could be satisfied with mechanical production processes. Haeberlein erected large factory buildings in the south of Nuremberg, which were intended to ensure sufficient production volume for the growing market.

Erdmann Staudt from Nuremberg married Madlon Haeberlein. Together they were able to run the Heinrich Haeberlein company successfully and make a big profit. Erdmann Staudt supplied, among other things, the imperial court in Vienna and was awarded the title of imperial court supplier for his services . Haeberlein was also a royal Bavarian purveyor to the court. Haeberlein products were honored with diplomas and medals at various exhibitions, for example in 1879 at the specialist exhibition of German confectioners in Würzburg and in 1882 at the exhibition in Nuremberg. As trademark was St. George the Dragon Slayer used.

On June 5, 1920, the two companies H. Haeberlein and FG Metzger merged to form the "United Nuremberg Lebkuchen- und Schokoladenfabriken Haeberlein-Metzger AG". In 1976 Schöller-Eis Lebensmittel KG took over from Theo Schöller Haeberlein-Metzger. In 1999, Schöller's pastry division, into which Haeberlein-Metzger was integrated, was taken over by the Lambertz Group , which Haeberlein continued to operate as an independent brand.
