The original

The Mozartkugel was invented by Paul Fürst, the founder and owner of the Fürst confectionery, which still exists today. 1890 is given as the year of invention. The sweet creation was awarded a gold medal in Paris in 1905.

To this day, the production of the Original Salzburg Mozartkugeln at the Fürst company has not changed. Each one is handmade, without preservatives and produced according to the original recipe.

You can purchase the original Salzburg Mozartkugel from Fürst directly in one of the Salzburg stores or in the online store. One of the Fürst patisseries is located just a few minutes’ walk from our hotels on Mirabellplatz.

The great success

The great success of the Mozartkugel soon led to it being imitated and sold by other confectioners.

There are currently over 10 different companies and confectioners in Austria and Germany that produce Mozartkugeln. These include the Holzmayr, Schatz and Hofbauer patisseries and the companies Salzburg Schokolade, Reber and others.

Whether spherical or flattened at the bottom, with more or less marzipan, handmade or industrially produced – you simply have to taste your way through and find your own favorite.
