Our Gingerbread Bakery

Our customers trust that with every bite, they are enjoying a piece of time-honored Nuremberg tradition.

What originally began in a Nuremberg confectionery is today a specialized operation for the finest Elisen-Lebkuchen. To meet the special expectations of our discerning customers, we focus only on the absolute premium quality of Nuremberg Lebkuchen, the Elisen-Lebkuchen. As a family business, we naturally also have a closely guarded family recipe. Our special feature: when making our doughs, we completely forego flour. Instead, we bake our Lebkuchen with an exceptionally high proportion of delicious premium nuts such as hazelnuts and almonds.

Baking takes place throughout the year, always fresh. In production, we have remained true to genuine craftsmanship and still manually coordinate all ingredients. All ingredients are then very thoroughly mixed in kettles to create a perfect Elisen dough. All Lebkuchen are also carefully placed individually on baking sheets, and even the application of the sugar glaze is done by hand with brushes. Every step is carefully monitored and consistently controlled, so that all Lebkuchen leave our bakery as a top-quality product.

Our Team – Tradition lives through people

What makes our Elisen gingerbread so special is not only the selected ingredients and time-tested family recipes, but above all the people who make them with dedication. Get to know some of the faces from our bakery, production, and office.

The best of all gingerbread and beautiful gingerbread tins.

For many years, we have also been baking our popular original Elisen gingerbread in gluten-free, organic and vegan versions. We are organic-certified according to DE-ÖKO-001. Our range is complemented by numerous additional delicacies, such as fine macaroons and handmade chocolates.

Further unmistakable features are our beautiful decorative tins. Whether with Nuremberg city motifs, stylish embossing or modern illustration on paper tins - there is something for every taste. For example, we created the "Elisen" tin in honor of the namesake of the Elisen gingerbread.
