Hofbauer and Küfferle
In 1994, the Lindt & Sprüngli Group acquired Hofbauer and Küfferle, two traditional Austrian brands known for their special chocolate creations.
Hofbauer
Hofbauer’s story began with the opening of a confectionary shop in Vienna in 1882 by Carl Hofbauer which soon became well-known for its delicate chocolate creations. Until today, Hofbauer stands for high-quality confectionary pralines such as the Mozart truffles and carefully selected ingredients with a unique Viennese charm.
Küfferle
Since 1865, Küfferle has delighted Austria with chocolate creations such as the famous Katzenzungen (cat’s tongue) invented in 1892 as well as the Schokoschirmchen (chocolate umbrellas), invented in 1950. Until today, Küfferle’s chocolate creations are true icons and bring joy to the entire family. Since 1972, Küfferle has been part of Hofbauer.
