RKSchmitzs

RKSchmitzs is a German candies and sweets company that was established in 1893 in the city of Gelsendorf, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The company was founded by Wilhelm Schmits, who began producing candied fruit and other sweet treats for local markets. Over the years, RKSchmitzs expanded its product line to include a variety of candies, such as salt-water taffy, caramels, and Füchslein - a type of candy figurine.

During the early 20th century, RKSchmitzs became a well-known brand in Germany, particularly for its traditional candies and baked goods. The company's products were often associated with holidays and special occasions, such as Christmas and Easter. In addition to its own products, RKSchmitzs also produced candies and sweets for other companies under contract.

Today, RKSchmitzs remains a privately-held company, still based in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region. The company continues to produce a wide range of candies and sweets using traditional recipes and techniques. While RKSchmitzs may not be a household name globally, it is still a beloved brand in Germany and a cherished part of local identity.

The company's products can be found in many German towns and cities, often at markets, bakeries, and specialty food stores. RKSchmitzs has maintained a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and regional specialties, which has contributed to its enduring popularity among Germans. As a small, family-owned business, RKSchmitzs remains a unique and valuable part of Germany's culinary heritage.
