2019

One of the greatest ever fashion designers, Karl Lagerfeld, steps off the catwalk of life, sending the world into mourning. He leaves behind his unique collections and trends. And just like the fashion industry, Schogetten also sets new trends every year. 2019 sees oat cookies become en vogue as our Product of the Year!

2018

All Germany sweats. At temperatures that scrape at the 40 ° C mark, the Germans enjoy the record-breaking Kaiser weather. And the delicious variety of the year “yoghurt-blueberry-muesli” – in the heat of course iced.

2016

Every four years we have a leap year – and 2016 is another one. For us, the additional day is a reason to celebrate. After all it means we have even more time to enjoy our flavour of the year “Vanilla-Wafer”.

The eyes of the world’s citizens are fixed on the Vatican, and following the swift ‘Habemus papam’, people rejoice at the election of the new, charismatic pope.

2012

The Olympic Games are held for the 30th time. Schogetten celebrates an anniversary, too: 50 years of single portioned chocolate. One of the birthday highlights is the Almond Brittle anniversary variety.

The year of no borders: on 07.07.07, over one million people worldwide gather together at Live Earth concerts to celebrate the globe’s largest music event in history.

Schogetten steps into a new century. The entire world is overcome by millennium fever. New Year’s Eve has never been so eagerly awaited, or so fervently celebrated!

1996

When it comes to sweetening success, Schogetten is always in the thick of it. Both at the 26th Olympic Games in Atlanta and as Germany raises the cup at the European Football Championships. It’s all about savouring the taste!

1987

Open to all: the divide between East and West begins to thaw. A 19-year-old German lands his plane in Red Square in Moscow. The Iron Curtain starts to twitch, and after 25 years, Schogetten, the ‘star of the chocolate sky’, shines brighter than ever before.

1974

Europe strengthens its ties: Germany, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands collaborate to build the first airbus. In another field, Germany assumes pole position and wins the FIFA world cup at home. There’s only one thing that tastes sweeter than this success: Schogetten.
