Jürgen Langbein Königin-Pasteten

Jürgen Langbein is a prestigious German brand specializing in gourmet delicatessen. Originally founded in Hamburg in 1965 by specialty chef Jürgen Langbein, the brand grew from a family tradition dating back to 1880. It initially gained fame for its lobster soup paste and high-quality bases for the gastronomy sector.

In 1988, the company moved its operations to Kaltenkirchen, just north of Hamburg. Since 1998, the brand has been part of the Rila Group (Rila Feinkost-Importe), a family-owned specialty food conglomerate based in Stemwede-Levern. The product shown, 'Königin-Pasteten' (Queen's Pastries), are classic puff pastry shells typically used for filling with ragout fin or other gourmet mixtures. These are produced in Germany, specifically at the brand's facility in Kaltenkirchen.
