Viennese Passionate Craftmanship

The history of the Austrian confectionery - full of tradition - starts in the year 1882 when Carl Hofbauer and his wife Juliane opened a bakery in the Vienna 5th district Margareten. Carl Hofbauer was born in 1855 in the Austrian wine quarter and was a trained baker. With its sweet creations, this little bakery attracted not just the Viennese. Within a very short time it was known far beyond the borders of the city. Hofbauer confectionery was the epitome of the highest quality.
