Leibniz Hafer biscuit

Leibniz is one of Germany's most iconic biscuit brands, famously known for its butter biscuits featuring 52 'teeth' around the edges. The brand was established in 1891 by Hermann Bahlsen in Hanover, Germany. He named the biscuit after the famous Hanoverian philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The 'Hafer' (Oat) variety is a modern iteration of the classic recipe, incorporating whole grain oats for a different texture and flavor profile.

The product is manufactured by the Bahlsen Group, which operates several production facilities across Europe. Major factories are located in Germany (Hanover, Barsinghausen, Varel, and Berlin) and Poland (Skawina and Jawornik). The Bahlsen Group remains a family-owned company, deeply rooted in its Hanoverian heritage. Over the decades, it has grown from a small local business into an international confectionery giant, distributing its products to over 50 countries while maintaining its status as a leading brand in the German sweet biscuit market.
