Düsseldorfer Löwensenf, trademark
Düsseldorfer Löwensenf is a mustard brand from Düsseldorf, Germany, produced since 1920. The company uses an original recipe of French origin and makes several varieties, from sharp to mild mustard, in its factory near the airport.
The brand began in 1903 as a vinegar and mustard workshop by the Frenzel family in Metz, but moved to Düsseldorf after World War I, when the city was Germany's mustard center. In 1920, the company introduced Germany's first mustard made using the French Dijon method and created the lion logo still used today.
Düsseldorfer Löwensenf is closely tied to the city's identity, which has produced mustard for nearly three centuries. The lion trademark comes from Düsseldorf's city coat of arms and connects the brand to local tradition and pride.
The company operates a mustard shop in Düsseldorf where visitors can taste and buy different varieties. The location is easily accessible near Düsseldorf Airport, and tastings help you discover your preferred flavor.
In 1925, the company pioneered glass packaging for mustard in Germany and sealed containers under vacuum to preserve flavor and heat longer. This innovation was revolutionary for its time and still shapes the product experience today.
