1964

More than 50 years ago, Roland and Marlene Brünz opened Café Brünz in the idyllic Waldachtal/Black Forest. Café Brünz is still owned by the family now and continues to be a popular destination for tourists and spa guests. Roland Brünz put his heart, soul and passion into laying the foundation for the later success story of Pfalzgraf Konditorei. By the mid-70s, frozen cakes and gateaux were already sent out to guests - a pioneering service at the time.
