Oskar Pischinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oskar Pischinger ( August 28, 1863 - January 7, 1919 in Vienna ) was an Austrian sugar confectionery manufacturer. He was the son of the entrepreneur Leopold Pischinger, who founded the sugar and gallantry factory Oskar Pischinger in Vienna in 1842 .

Life

Pischinger learned the trade of confectioner from his father. Later he opened his own biscuit and rusks factory in Vienna-Neubau , and in 1889 he joined his father's business. Right from the start, the Pischinger confectionery factory was equipped with modern machines that were constantly being renewed. Pischinger continuously brought out new varieties that were awarded prizes.

In the 1880s he invented the Pischinger Torte , a filled waffle biscuit that became a sales success and helped the family business to flourish across Europe. The company employed 200 to 500 workers and had numerous branches throughout the monarchy ( Pressburg , Krakow , Chernivtsi , Esseg , Budapest ).

Litigation of the heirs

Pischinger had two sons, Oskar junior and Jacques, who inherited the factory. The company was dissolved at the end of 1925 and the brothers agreed that Jacques should serve the market in Austria and Oskar the market in Germany. Later there were disputes between the heirs over Oskar's breach of contract. The legal dispute was decided in court, so that Oskar Pischinger junior was not allowed to use the addition Oskar Pischinger in the company name of his confectionary .
