About us :
In 1894 the confectioner Henry Schwermer, who had previously learned at Café Kranzler in Berlin, founded the company in Königsberg in East Prussia. Soon the coffee house business with confectionery specialized in the production of Königsberg marzipan, pralines and tree cakes. Henry Schwermer received the gold medal for his Baumkuchen creations at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. After the founder's death in 1918, his daughter Charlotte Stiel took over the company. When Schwermer had to leave Königsberg after the Second World War, this laid the foundation for a new beginning in Bad Wörishofen. After the premises in the re-established Café Schwermer became too small, the new company was founded in 1968 under the management of their son Dietrich Stiel, which was expanded several times to its current size of around 15,000 m². Today (2019) the company has around 100 Employees engaged in manufacturing, which is exported to 37 countries. The great-grandson of the company founder, Peter Stiel (1949-2019), took over the management of the family business in the fourth generation. At the beginning of 2017, Schwermer was taken over by Heidi Chocolat Suisse. The Swiss company belongs to the Austrian holding company KEX Confectionery AG Meinl Group, ending the tradition as a family company. In 2018, the Schwermer brand was relaunched, introducing new products and investing in production. However, it did not succeed in getting the company on the road to success. Since no investor was found for the Bad Wörishofen location, production was discontinued at the end of 2020 and the location was completely closed. The trademark rights were sold to United Chocolat Group, which will continue to produce Schwermer products at another location.
