Zurich - Konditorei Sprüngli

The Konditorei Sprüngli is the heart of a chocolate empire which has its chief factory in Kilchberg. The Sprüngli firm, the largest confectionery concern in Switzerland, was divided about a century ago to form the chocolate factory Lindt and Sprüngli (Rudolf Sprüngli) and the Sprüngli Confectionery, now headed by Richard Sprüngli. As well as the main shop in the Paradeplatz (renovated in 1985), there are seven other shops belonging to the firm. Well-known confectionery specialties are: mouth- watering gâteaux, the delicious "Luxemburgerli" and Sprüngli's chocolate cubes "number one".
