Mannemer Dreck ( Kurpfälzisch for Mannheimer Dreck ; colloquially also Monnemer Dreck ) is a macaroon pastry from Mannheim .

The unusual name for gingerbread similar specialty dates back to the 1822 or 1838 back when the Town Office Executive Mr. von Jagemann issued a regulation, "the occupied Anyone with two Reichstalern punishment of the collected in the house Kot with garbage brought to the streets ." A resourceful baker then baked “dirt” from marzipan , cloves , hazelnuts and almonds and put it in his shop window as “Mannemer Dreck”.

Mannheim pastry shops produce Mannemer Dreck according to their own traditional recipes. If you consider that the chocolate couverture was not even invented back then (1879), some “original recipes” are probably no longer relevant. Only the basic composition is as follows: Real Mannemer dirt consists of honey , nuts , sugar , orange peel , lemon peel and spices . It is baked on wafers and coated with chocolate .

The singer Joy Fleming created a musical memorial for the pastry in 1972 with her song "Mannemer Dreck". In 2006, the author Rainer Martin Mittl gave his first detective novel the title "Mannheimer Dreck". The geographer and blogger Christophe Neff wrote an autobiographical blog post about his student years and his time as an assistant in Mannheim under the title "Mannemer Dreck - dreamlike times - an autobiographical journey through time with music accompaniment to Mannheim".

The first recipe is only documented for 1862, almost at the same time as the Heidelberg Student Kiss . It goes back to the then 17-year-old pastry chef Carl Herrdegen in the still existing Mannheim pastry shop Herrdegen.
