Traditional Gingerbread Hearts from Munich

Gingerbread hearts are one of the most famous souvenirs from Munich. Visitors from all over the world know the colorful hearts with sweet icing and traditional messages from the Oktoberfest and other Bavarian festivals.

These large decorated hearts, called Lebkuchenherzen, are a symbol of Bavarian folk festivals and are especially popular during the Oktoberfest in Munich. Many visitors buy a gingerbread heart as a souvenir or a gift for friends and family.

Our traditional gingerbread heart stand is known from the Oktoberfest Schifferl Herzlmalerei, where visitors can watch the art of decorating and writing on the hearts. Each heart can be personalized with a custom message written in icing.

Visitors to Munich can also find us at the Spring Festival on the Theresienwiese, also known as the “Little Oktoberfest”. There you can have your own gingerbread heart decorated and personalized directly at our stand.

A personalized Munich gingerbread heart is not only a sweet treat but also a traditional Bavarian souvenir that represents the culture of Munich and its famous festivals.
