During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Saxon capital developed into a center of the German chocolate industry. This rise was made possible by several factors, including the city\u2019s excellent transport links, its proximity to the sugar beet industry, and the long tradition of Dresden\u2019s confectioners and pastry chefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-first-milk-chocolate-came-from-dresden\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The First Milk Chocolate Came from Dresden<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_Historische-Schokoladentaflen-im-Stadtmusuem-Dresden.-Foto-Karla-Kallauch.jpg\" alt=\"Vielfalt an Schokoladen und Pralinen in Dresden gezeigt.u\" class=\"wp-image-45579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_Historische-Schokoladentaflen-im-Stadtmusuem-Dresden.-Foto-Karla-Kallauch.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_Historische-Schokoladentaflen-im-Stadtmusuem-Dresden.-Foto-Karla-Kallauch-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_Historische-Schokoladentaflen-im-Stadtmusuem-Dresden.-Foto-Karla-Kallauch-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The history of chocolate in Dresden is, of course, also part of the permanent exhibition at the Dresden City Museum. The exhibition features typical luxury and consumer goods from the period. Alongside chocolate, these also include cigarettes, which were likewise produced in Dresden. Foto: Karla Kallauch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history of chocolate in Dresden began in 1823, when Gottfried Heinrich Christoph Jordan and August Friedrich Timaeus founded the company Jordan &amp; Timaeus in Dresden\u2019s Neustadt district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1839, the two entrepreneurs placed a newspaper advertisement promoting their new product: \u201c<strong>Chocolate made with donkey\u2019s milk<\/strong>, without spices, suitable both for cooking \u2026 and for eating raw in 24 small bars \u2026\u201d The advertisement appeared in the <em>Dresdner Anzeiger<\/em> on May 22, 1839.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This provides evidence that milk chocolate was being produced in Dresden more than three decades before Daniel Peter developed his Swiss version in 1875. In its early days, however, Dresden milk chocolate probably tasted considerably more bitter and less creamy than the milk chocolate we know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-camondas-the-dresden-chocolate-museum\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Camondas: The Dresden Chocolate Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Schokolade-in-Dresden_SChokoladenmuseum_Genussvolle-Fuehrung_Foto_Camondas.jpg\" alt=\"Holzvitrine mit Schokoladenformen aus Metall im Dresdner Schokoladenmuseum. \" class=\"wp-image-45614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Schokolade-in-Dresden_SChokoladenmuseum_Genussvolle-Fuehrung_Foto_Camondas.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Schokolade-in-Dresden_SChokoladenmuseum_Genussvolle-Fuehrung_Foto_Camondas-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Schokolade-in-Dresden_SChokoladenmuseum_Genussvolle-Fuehrung_Foto_Camondas-768x488.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Dresden Chocolate Museum invites visitors to learn more about the city\u2019s long chocolate-making tradition\u2014with tastings included!

Visitors can learn how chocolate is made from cocoa beans, how to recognize high-quality products, and why Dresden was once regarded as Germany\u2019s chocolate capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum was founded by Ivo Schaffer, who has run the Dresden confectionery shop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/camondas.de\/\">Camondas<\/a><\/strong> since 2008. The name combines \u201ccacao\u201d with \u201cle monde,\u201d the French term for \u201cthe world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibits include historical packaging, advertising materials, and numerous chocolate molds. Dresden entrepreneur Anton Reiche holds a special place in the museum\u2019s history. In the 19th century, he developed a process that allowed molds to be made from less expensive tinplate rather than copper. This made it possible to produce large quantities of chocolate Santa Clauses, animals, and fantasy figures. At its peak, his factory employed around 1,800 people and supplied chocolate manufacturers in many countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The C. C. Petzold &amp; Aulhorn Chocolate and Confectionery Factory, founded in Dresden in 1843, is credited with creating the <strong>first chocolate-filled Advent calendar<\/strong>. An example of this historic calendar, which is said to have been introduced to the market in 1938, can also be seen at the Dresden Chocolate Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Camondas Chocolate Museum \/\/ Schlo\u00dfstra\u00dfe 22, 01067 Dresden \/\/ Daily, 10 a.m.\u20136 p.m. \/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/camondas.de\">camondas.de <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-chocolate-ice-pops\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chocolate Ice Pops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_CAMONDAS-Eis-am-Stiel.jpg\" alt=\"Verk\u00e4ufer reicht einem Gast ein Schokoladeneis am Stiel im Camondas Schokoladenkontor in Dresden.\" class=\"wp-image-45577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_CAMONDAS-Eis-am-Stiel.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_CAMONDAS-Eis-am-Stiel-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Schokolade-Dresden_CAMONDAS-Eis-am-Stiel-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Simply irresistible: This chocolate ice pop is in high demand.

These include <strong>ice cream tastings<\/strong> and <strong>chocolate-lollipop-making workshops<\/strong> for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum is also connected to a chocolate shop where visitors can sample and purchase artisanal chocolates from around the world.

These seven marzipan pralines, filled with pistachios, nougat, chili, and ginger, evoke the famous Wolf\u2019s Gorge scene from Carl Maria von <strong>Weber\u2019s opera <em>Der Freisch\u00fctz<\/em><\/strong>.
