L. Heiner in Simmering: Festive enjoyment for the 185th anniversary!
A traditional company that is deeply rooted in Viennese confectionery is celebrating an impressive anniversary this year: L. Heiner in Simmering turns 185 years old. This family business with a history spanning six generations is not only an important part of the local culture, but also carries on the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the “Austrian confectionery”. How meinkreis.at reports, this special anniversary will be celebrated with a brand new creation: the “k.u.k.-Taler”. This new treat is intended to symbolize the company's historical value and durability.
The “k.u.k.-Taler” impresses with its tasty filling made of nougat wafer cream and the cover made of dark chocolate. This combination is a reference to the company's roots. The cream is reminiscent of the Biedermeier period, an era that reflects security and domesticity, while the crispy waffle represents strength in difficult times. At this anniversary price of 4.50 euros, the thaler will be available from September 3rd at Simmeringer Hauptstraße 423.
Celebrations and special events
From September 3rd to 30th, the Viennese can also look forward to a special promotion for the famous cardinal slices in all variations. Together with a melange or a tea, these delicacies are available for just 7.50 euros. The Kardinalschnitte, which was once invented by Ludwig Heiner on the occasion of Catholic Day in 1933, remains a classic in the Viennese dessert landscape. This treat consists of egg whites and sponge cake and is filled with delicious apricot jam. A colorful treat that no restaurant should be without, like us heiner.co.at reveals.
The craft of confectionery
The craft of confectionery is a treasure in Austria, characterized by centuries of traditional techniques, creativity and precision. The creation of sweet works of art like the Cardinal Cuts is consistent with methods that have been passed down for generations. This ensures that the artistry of the confectioners remains alive and well unesco.at emphasized.
The traditional production techniques, which range from cooking to pouring chocolate, require not only skill but also creative adaptation to the customer's wishes. With the decline in mass production, knowledge of the fine techniques of confectioners is in danger of being lost. The generations of confectioners, including L. Heiner, contribute to not only preserving the craft, but also constantly developing it further.
So stay tuned for the culinary highlights that L. Heiner has to offer in September! After all, not only an anniversary awaits us, but also the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the sweet world of Viennese confectionery and appreciate tradition.
