history
In 1865 Peter Reber opened the first Reber Confiserie-Konditorei-Cafés in Munich and operated there until 1938. After that it was moved to the city center of Bad Reichenhall, where it is still the headquarters of Paul Reber GmbH & Co. KG today. The company was expanded to include a production facility in the Reichenhall district of Marzoll , a subsidiary with a production facility in Rüdesheim and two branch stores in Salzburg .

Litigation
The brand name Echte Reber-Mozartkugeln was preceded by a legal dispute with the company of descendants of the Salzburg confectioner and first maker of Mozartkugeln Paul Fürst , who are the only ones allowed to sell their Mozartkugeln under the name Original Salzburger Mozartkugeln . ( See also: Mozartkugel # naming rights )
At the end of the 1970s, a legal dispute over trademark rights broke out between the Salzburg Mozartkugel manufacturer Mirabell and Reber, which culminated in an attempt by Austrian government officials in 1981 to obtain an agreement that would only entitle Austrian producers to manufacture and export Mozartkugeln worldwide. In the end, officials of the European Community decided on the dispute in Brussels and rejected such an agreement.
