The grain stocks had run out practically everywhere and, by now, the city was hungry everywhere. Food was in short supply; the only exception was almonds, of which all of Lübeck was abundant. It was at that point that a drastic decision was made; bakers were ordered to use almonds instead of bread…. thus the Marzipan was born! Well this is just a legend! The product, originally from the East, only began its real production phase in the nineteenth century; until it became an art in Lübeck. Lübeck, in fact. City whose historic center has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Anyone who is in this wonderful city cannot miss a visit to the legendary Café Niederegger. It was founded by George Niederegger: more than a pastry chef, a true marzipan artist. Located in Breite Strasse, near the beautiful Rathaus, it will immediately enchant you; in fact, in its windows, authentic miniature masterpieces are exhibited. All strictly made of marzipan. So, don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity. And… enjoy your meal at Cafe Niederegger!
