The best craftsmanship since 1825 from one of the Pulsnitz gingerbread bakeries with the longest tradition of handcrafting gingerbread and macaroons. Since 1825 we have been baking Pulsnitz gingerbread with the greatest care, using recipes passed down through generations. Today, all of our specialties are baked in the same way as they were over 180 years ago. It's not just at Christmas time that we smell of gingerbread: we have fresh treats all year round. You can order from us at any time - we will send you a package with fresh and fragrant specialties immediately. https://www.groschky.de/ Main store Pulsnitz Rietschelstr. 15 Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Gottfried Tobias Thomas founded the first pure gingerbread bakery in 1743 on what is now Julius-Kühn-Platz. After several generations, Herbert Beyer was the last, from 1931 to 1972. With him, the tradition ended after 229 years in this house. Today, the Harlekin is located on this site, with a café, bar, guesthouse and cozy beer garden. Gingerbread still finds its customers today - as in other restaurants in the city. A memorial plaque and award medals on the facade commemorate the historic old Thomas gingerbread bakery.
