Louis Lehmann was a historic pastry shop and former supplier to the Imperial and Royal Court in Vienna . The address was Graben 12 in the 1st district of Innere Stadt .
history
Ernst Louis Lehmann (born March 20, 1850 in Germany) had his apprenticeship with Gerstner . There he met his future wife Leopoldine. Master Anton Gerstner was present at the wedding; the marriage resulted in two sons and two daughters. Lehmann later went into business for himself and opened his first pastry shop at Mariahilfer Straße 137. This branch existed until 1984.
The head office was moved to Singerstraße 3 in the 1st district, which the son Louis Ignaz Lehmann (born October 20, 1878–1945) later managed. He married Luise Bredendick, who herself came from a pastry dynasty. In 1878 Lehmann was able to set up a fruit canning factory at Hadikgasse 18 in the 13th district. The fruit was able to keep its color and taste, which was a special feature at the time. The fruit canning factory remained in production until 1972.
With the fruit factory and the two coffee and pastry shops, a total of 70 employees worked at Lehmann. Lehmann began to supply the imperial court and members of the imperial family. On July 1, 1880, the company received permission from the court to “dispense coffee, tea, chocolate, other warm beverages and refreshments, distilled spirits and dessert wines, but only in connection with the confectioner's trade.” In 1916 the company was owned by Louis Ignaz Lehmann, who successfully applied for the title of purveyor to the court economics office. At the “express request of the chief steward's office” he received the title “kuk Hofzuckerbäcker” from Emperor Karl I in 1917 and was allowed to join a number of court confectioners such as Gerstner and Demel .
With the collapse of the monarchy, the court broke away as a customer, but Lehmann was able to keep business going with new pastries. During the Second World War, the cafe at Singerstraße 3 was destroyed by fire. With the death of Louis Lehmann, his widow Luise and her daughter Lotte had to run the business; they moved to Graben 12 in the 1st district. Lehmann was allowed to serve the cold buffet at the reception of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty in Belvedere Palace. The customer was the Federal Chancellery , and the company dished out at state banquets, company celebrations and balls with a catering service. The traditional business of cakes and pies ran mainly in the cafe, but orders for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and holidays were taken.
The house on the Graben was renovated in 1984, with the establishment of the pedestrian zone on the Graben, a pub garden was set up. Peter Förtsch (born March 27, 1953), who became a certified confectioner since 1977, managed the business together with his son Alexander and daughter Nicole.
The company has been awarded the 2001 Golden Coffee Bean by Jacobs excellent. The pastry shop was closed on July 15th, 2008, apparently due to increased rents. Customers like the German playwright René Pollesch were "shocked".
