The Sweet Legacy of Sprüngli

Sprüngli is a Swiss luxury confectionery manufacturer and retailer that was founded in 1836 by David Sprüngli. He bought a confectioner’s shop in Zürich and started producing chocolates with his son Rudolf. In 1859, they opened the famous shop on Paradeplatz, which is still there today. In 1892, the chocolate-producing branch of the business split off from the confectionery and became Lindt & Sprüngli, while the confectionery remained as Confiserie Sprüngli.
