But where do pretzels actually come from?

At this stage, there are as many stories about how pretzels originated as there are ways to enjoy them. But one thing is for sure – our pretzels are always legendary.

Why all pretzels
are not the same

What do Swabian and Bavarian pretzels have in common? Both look very tempting indeed! But what is the difference between the two regional varieties.

Swabian-style pretzels

Timeless taste and dream dimensions – our Swabian-style pretzels are instantly recognisable by their thin, crispy arms, fat belly and the light, airy crumb beneath their chestnut-brown crust.
