history
The family history of today's KuK Hofzuckerbäckerei L. Heiner goes back to Andreas Rabl, who, according to tradition, went into business for the first time as a master baker after 1840 and took over the long-established bakery in the inner city in 1852. The bakery was moved to Wollzeile 9 in 1848 from the address "An der Gestätte 223", where this bakery appeared in the house directory as early as 1700.
In 1883 the bakery was taken over by Rabl's son-in-law Valentin Heiner, then by his son Ludwig Heiner (* 1883) - on whom today's company name L. Heiner is based - and then run by his wife Berta Heiner.
Under Ludwig Heiner, the company became a confectionery and, thanks to its increasing popularity in the highest aristocratic circles, was awarded the title of Royal Bavarian Court Supplier and Emperor Franz Joseph I honored it as a KuK Hofzuckerbäcker.
After the end of the First World War and the fall of Austria-Hungary , the company had a hard struggle because there was no farm to supply and the economic situation was generally poor. After the end of the Second World War, the company was able to stabilize again and expand.
Berta Heiner's successors were her son Walther Stuller († 2017) and his wife Irmtraud Stuller († 2017), who opened the second branch at Kärntnerstrasse 21–23 in 1949. In 1964 the Perchtoldsdorf location was added.
In 1971 Paulus Stuller (son of Walther and Irmtraud Stuller) joined the family business, and in 1981 his wife Martina Stuller too.
The Republic of Austria recognized L. Heiner in 1977 with the State Award . Therefore, one finds on the company papers on the one hand the old KuK coat of arms, which reminds of the times as purveyor to the court, on the other hand the federal coat of arms of the Republic of Austria .
In 1999 the bakery on Wollzeile became too small and production moved to Simmering, where a bakery shop was also opened.
In 2007 another branch was added in Stockerau . In the same year the company was awarded the Golden Coffee Bean by Gault-Millau and Jacobs.
In 2013 L. Heiner took over the Klement confectionery in Hernals and currently has six branches.
The company with around 140 employees is currently run by Paulus Stuller together with his son Michael Stuller in the fifth and sixth generation of the family.

Viennese pastries as ducats book stuffs , cheese dumplings , Kipferlschmarrn and ricotta pancake are also served as hot and cold savory dishes. L. Heiner also runs a gift and shipping service, bakes cakes for weddings and special occasions, and makes ice cream itself.
