Riegelein seasonal figures

Riegelein, officially known as Confiserie Riegelein, is one of Europe's leading brands for seasonal chocolate figures. Founded in 1953 by Hans Riegelein in Cadolzburg near Nuremberg, Germany, the company built a reputation for its wide variety of creative and high-quality chocolate designs, including Christmas Santas and Easter Bunnies.

The brand has remained deeply rooted in German confectionery traditions while expanding its reach globally. It is recognized for its commitment to sustainability, being any early adopter of Fairtrade cocoa standards across its entire product range. In 2021, a significant merger occurred between Riegelein and the Rübezahl-Gruppe, leading to the formation of the Rübezahl-Riegelein-Gruppe. This consolidation brought together several iconic German chocolate brands under a single family-managed corporate umbrella based in Dettingen unter Teck, ensuring the brand's long-term competitive position in the global market.
