The Original [edit]

The master confectioner, Paul Fürst, came to Salzburg in

1884 and opened a shop at number 13, Brodgasse. He

presented the Mozartbonbon for the first time in 1890,

later producing and selling it in greater quantities as

Mozartkugeln. Fürst’s achievement was the production of

a perfectly rounded chocolate, with no flat areas. The

production process used by the confectionery Fürst has

not changed to this day.

Paul Fürst presented the Mozartkugel at a fair in Paris in

1905 and was awarded a gold medal for it.

Mozartkugeln produced by Mirabell 

Today, the confectionery Fürst sells the original Salzburg

Mozartkugeln exclusively in its four shops in Salzburg (at

the Old Market, with branches in the Ritzerbogen, the

Getreidegasse and near the Castle Mirabell), and via a

direct service, but not in other shops. Mozartkugeln can

be bought from the confectionery Fürst individually and in

packages of several pieces.

Original recipe [edit]

The “Original Salzburg Mozartkugeln” are still produced

manually by the confectionery Fürst according to the

original recipe and using the original technique: First, a

ball of green pistachio marzipan covered in a layer of

nougat is produced. This ball is then placed on a small

 wooden stick and dunked in a dark chocolate coating.Next, the stick is placed vertically, with the ball at the

top, on a platform to allow the chocolate to cool off and

harden. Finally, the stick is removed; the hole that it

leaves behind is filled with chocolate coating, and the

ball is wrapped in blue-silver tin foil by hand. According

to the Fürst company, their employees produce

this technique every year. In the firm’s air-conditioned

salerooms, the balls remain fresh for about eight weeks.

Prizes [edit]

The specialist magazine, Der Feinschmecker  (English:

The Gastronome), gave the original Salzburg

Mozartkugel first place in a comparison test of differentMozartkugeln in its January 2006 edition. It was

remarked that the original Salzburg Mozartkugel is

handmade and that it has a nougat taste with a note of

slightly bitter pistachio marzipan. The original Salzburg

Mozartkugel was awarded a gold medal at the second

international truffle competition during the confectionery fair ÖKONDA in Wels in September 2005.

Rights to the name [edit]

The existence of numerous imitation Mozartkugeln finally led Paul Fürst’s descendants to initiate a

court process. At stake were the rights to the name, not the Mozartkugeln recipe itself. At first, the

dispute concerned only confectionery producers in Salzburg, but later spread to include the competition

from Germany. The result was an agreement which obliged Fürst’s competitors to use other names. The

Mirabell firm, based in Grödig near Salzburg, chose the name, “Real Salzburg Mozartkugeln”. The

Bavarian producer, Reber, opted for “Real Reber Mozartkugeln”. In 1996, a dispute between Fürst and a

subsidiary of the Swiss food producer, Nestlé, which wanted to market “Original Austria Mozartkugeln”, was decided in the third instance. Only Fürst products may be called original Salzburg Mozartkugeln.[1]

Other producers that employ the original recipe [edit]

The confectionery Dallmann, located in St. Gilgen on the Wolfgangsee, produces Mozartkugeln by hand

according to Fürst’s original recipe. Like those produced by the confectionery Fürst, they are wrapped in

silver tin foil marked with blue print.

The confectionery Engljähringer, which has operated in the city of Salzburg since 1948, also produces

Mozartkugeln by hand using the original recipe. They are sold in cardboard boxes and are available at

Salzburg’s University Square at the Engljähringer market stall. Handmade Mozartkugeln are not

produced en masse using industrial techniques, whereby hollow Mozartkugeln are created and then

filled. Engljähringer Mozartkugeln are produced by “wuzeln” (a regional term in Austria meaning to turn

or to roll) the pistachio marzipan, by covering it in nougat and finally by dunking it by hand in chocolate

coating.

The confectionery Petrik, whose base of operations in the Getreidegasse, not too far from the house in

 which Mozart was born, produces Mozartkugeln using the same sound and traditional method. The

confectionery took a top place in the 2006 Mozartkugel test carried out by the “We are Mozart”

 website.[2]

Industrially produced Mozartkugeln [edit]

Shortly after the presentation of the Mozartkugel in Paris,

other Salzburg confectioners started to copy it due to its

popularity. The newly developing sweet industry quickly

began to produce this popular specialty too, as Fürst had not

secured the rights to the name Mozartkugel.

The industrially produced Mozartkugeln do not use the

original recipe, being based instead on variations of it.

Furthermore, they are smaller than the original and are often

flat on one side. The Mozartkugeln produced by the Mirabellcompany have a green, ring-shaped marzipan centre

surrounded by light and dark nougat creme. Those produced

by the German company Reber have a centre made of

nougat, which is surrounded on one side by white marzipan,

and on the other side by green marzipan. Moreover, they are

flat on one side and not completely round. The Mozartkugeln

Mozartkugeln (Mirabell)

produced by another German company, Lambertz, are also

flat on one side, with a hazelnut and nougat centre

surrounded by pistachio and almond marzipan and covered in

a layer of dark chocolate. Both Mirabell and Reber

emphasise that no preservatives, colouring or artificial

aromas are used in their products.

The leading industrial producers of Mozartkugeln, Reber and

Mirabell, are both based in the area of the Euregio Salzburg –

Berchtesgadener Land – Traunstein.

Austria  [edit]

The largest industrial producer of Mozartkugeln in Austria is

the Mirabell company (Kraft Foods Austria), which is based

in Grödig near Salzburg. According to its own

figures[citation needed ], Mirabell produces over 90 millionMozartkugeln per year and exports them to more than 30 countries. Mirabell claims[citation needed ] to

have produced a total of 1.5 billion Mozartkugeln since 1945. Other producers include the Viennese

company Hofbauer, which produces varieties with milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and Manner,

 which has factories in Vienna, Wolkersdorf and Perg.

Germany [edit]

The world's largest industrial producer of Mozartkugeln is the

German company Reber Specialities, which has been activein Bad Reichenhall since 1938. According to Reber, its daily

capacity is 500,000 Mozartkugeln, and it exports its products

to 40 countries. Another German producer is the Confiserie

Dreher. It is also located in Bad Reichenhall and has been

producing Mozartkugeln since 1931. It claims to be the

oldest German producer of Mozartkugeln. Dreher was bought

Real Reber Mozartkugel, made by Reber

in 2000 by the Halloren Chocolate Factory in Halle (Saale). [3]

The Lambertz company, based in Aachen, also produces

Mozartkugeln e.g. for discount supermarket chains like Aldi.

Dispute between Mirabell and Reber [edit]

At the end of the 1970s, a dispute arose between the Mozartkugeln producers Mirabell and Reber over

the trademark. A provisional agreement was reached in 1981 between representatives of the Austrian

and German governments, whereby only Austrian producers were to be allowed to use the label

"Mozartkugeln". Reber protested against this agreement, and the EC-Commissioner in Brussels

charged with deciding in the affair finally declared the agreement invalid. [4] This is why Reber may

legitimately and continuously use his Genuine Reber Mozart-Kugeln trademark, though with a hyphen

in-between.

Nonetheless, only Mirabell Mozartkugeln are allowed to be round. Other industrially produced

Mozartkugeln must have one flat side.[5]

Other Fürst chocolates named after famous personalities [edit]

Besides the famous “Original Salzburger Mozartkugeln”, which is named after Wolfgang Amadeus

Mozart, there are further chocolates that are named after famous personalities: the Bachwürfel (English:

Bach cube) (Johann Sebastian Bach), Wolf-Dietrich-Block (Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau), Doppler

Kon(Ef)fekt (Christian Doppler) and the Paris-Lodron-Truffle (Paris Graf von Lodron).

Monuments [edit]

In the winter and spring of 2006, 80 oversized polyester Mozartkugeln, each with a diameter of 1.6

metres, were placed in the old town of Salzburg. They had been designed by artists. In the night of the

27th of March, vandals removed one of these Mozartkugeln from the Franziskanergasse, where it had

been bolted to the ground. The unknown vandals then rolled the Mozartkugel onto the street, causing

damage worth around 7000 euro.[6]
