Tradition meets indulgence at the Lebkuchen-Schmidt Outlet Store

Who doesn't recognize the red heart with the castle silhouette? Whether you're a gingerbread fan or not, Lebkuchen-Schmidt is probably the best-known producer of the famous Nuremberg specialty and has been shipping its festive delicacies from Nuremberg to customers around the world since 1927.

The traditional company was founded thanks to a brilliant business idea by the Nuremberg merchant Emil Otto Schmidt. Unexpectedly receiving a whole wagonload of gingerbread from his brother, he created assorted gift packages and advertised them in the local newspaper. Interested customers could have the convenient packages delivered directly to their homes. This marked the birth of one of Germany's first mail-order businesses and it was a great success.

Thirty years later, Schmidt discovered another clever sales channel. During the winter months, he rented vacant ice cream parlors to promote his Nuremberg specialties. Today, around 170 of these seasonal stores can be found throughout Germany.

Lebkuchen-Schmidt owes its legendary reputation above all to the exceptional quality and unmistakable flavor of its specialties. To this day, every product is baked with great passion using traditional recipes and only the finest ingredients. For example, only Fairtrade cocoa beans are used in all creations.

Whether it's premium Elisen gingerbread, soft cinnamon stars, or year-round favorites such as vanilla crescents and pralines, Schmidt offers the perfect treat for every taste. Particularly popular are the decorative chests and tins, which make excellent gifts. For special occasions or as a thoughtful gesture for family and friends, the Christmas gift packages offer a wide variety of delicious specialties.
