Candy Museum

The Candy Museum in Vaihingen an der Enz is a museum dedicated to confectionery manufacturing history with historic machines, vintage advertisements, and original packaging displayed across approximately 300 square meters. The collection shows the various techniques and methods used in the production of hard candies and fruit drops.

The museum documents the development of candy manufacturing from medieval origins to industrial production in the 20th century. It traces how local workshops like the JUNG company transitioned to mechanized manufacturing techniques.

The exhibits feature an original storefront from a historic Stuttgart grocery store that sold candies for generations. You can see how this small shop looked and what products were displayed there.

The museum is housed in a factory building with an adjacent factory shop where you can purchase current products. A visit typically takes one to two hours, and the collection is well-organized so you can easily explore all areas.

One of the oldest preserved candies from the manufacturer is displayed here, showing how long this production tradition has existed. The collection also includes historical candy boxes from different decades, revealing how packaging design and brand labels evolved over time.
