 | Differences in marzipan quality"Take almonds, sugar and rose water ..." is the simple, classic recipe for marzipan. Decisive for the unique quality of the Niederegger products is, in addition to the quality of the raw materials and the traditional roasting process, the right mix of almonds and sugar. Basically, the higher the almond content, the higher the quality of the marzipan. So the raw mass must consist of at least 65% almonds and must contain no more than 35% sugar. Further sugar may be added in the further processing, which is basically dispensed with by Niederegger.

The aromatic almondsThe almond tree with its Latin name Prunus dulcis is one of the rose plants and is therefore closely related to cherry, peach, apricot and rose. For around 4000 years, the frost-sensitive tree has been cultivated. The almonds thrive particularly well in a warm climate and are grown, for example, in southern Spain in the region around Alicante. Aromatic almonds from southern regions are the most important raw material for the high quality Niederegger marzipan. Between January and February is the time of the almond blossom. The wide groves show up in their brilliant white and pink splendor. The managing proprietors of the Niederegger family business, the Strait family, are personally convinced by the abundance of flowers these days. From March, nothing is to be seen of the blossoms of almond trees. The harvest takes place from beginning to middle of September. The edible almond kernel is surrounded by a protective, hard shell. From this, the almonds are harvested in the harvest areas, selected and packaged for transport. In Lübeck, once again, the quality of each individual delivery is checked by an independent laboratory before the almonds are released for production. |  |
 | The original recipeDecisive for the unique quality of the Niederegger products are, in addition to the quality of the raw materials, the correct mixing ratio of the ingredients as well as the traditional roasting process. Everything else is a closely guarded family secret that has been handed down from generation to generation for more than 200 years. Niederegger attaches great importance to traditional craftsmanship. The almonds are blanched in a hot water bath to quickly and thoroughly rid them of their brown skin. Subsequently, a machine and additionally a manual sorting done, so that in the end only the very best almonds are processed. In large drums they are washed again before they are mixed with the sugar. Rolls grind the almonds and the sugar, taking care that the structure of the almond is preserved and still on the tongue is noticeable. Then the roasting of the raw mass begins under the eyes of an experienced roasting master. For this purpose, the mass is placed in rotating vessels and heated evenly over an open flame. The result is fine roasted aromas and the almonds and sugar combine to form an aromatic savory raw material. After cooling off with cold air and a rest phase, the Niederegger secret is added. Only now is the marzipan ready and can be processed into one of more than 300 different products. |

Origin and history of the Advent calendar
The origin of the Advent calendar is closely connected with the different traditions with which the Advent season was celebrated in the Protestant and Catholic churches: While it was customary in the Catholic Church to go to church for the morning Rorate Mass , the Advent devotions in the Protestant Church took place at home. For this reason, many Advent customs - including the Advent calendar - have developed in the Protestant, family milieu. This also includes the Advent wreath, which also originated in the Protestant tradition.
The custom of counting the days until Christmas was first documented by Johann Hinrich Wichern in 1838, who was the director of a Protestant boys' rescue home in Hamburg ("Rauhes Haus zu Horn bei Hamburg"). During the daily devotions, when people came together and sang Advent songs, he lit another candle in a large candlestick every day. From the 19th century on, such Advent calendars appeared as we know them today, which made it possible to count the days by tearing them off or crossing them off. Probably the first printed Advent calendars were produced in 1908 by the publisher and pastor's son Gerhard Lang from Maulbronn in Württemberg. This was a do-it-yourself calendar - 24 calendar pictures had to be cut out beforehand and glued into the matching rectangles of a cardboard box. Advent calendars with doors to open appeared around 1920. By the way, the first of today's popular Advent calendars filled with chocolate came on the market in 1958.
Different types and structure
As a rule, Advent calendars have 24 doors, one of which is opened from December 1 to 24. But there are also liturgical Advent calendars, each of which begins with Advent 1 and has little doors until January 6 (Epiphany). These also have four additional doors for the Sundays of Advent. In general, there are many different variants of Advent calendars, which are equipped with different motifs and fillings.
In addition to calendars in paper form or in the form of ribbons on which 24 gifts are hung, there are other forms: In Scandinavia, for example, it is customary to light an Advent candle. It is equipped with a scale with 24 lines, which is burned down a little further each day. Also popular is the custom of using a building (e.g., the city hall) and its illuminated windows as an oversized calendar.
Advent calendars are now available on the Internet at or in digital form as an app or message on a smartphone or in the form of daily e-mails.
