The foundation for success was laid when the company’s founders developed a unique method for continuously whipping cream. Consistent texture and uniform taste – this is the “creamy secret” of Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese.

The company was founded by Aloys Coppenrath and Josef Wiese. Production began in a converted dairy in Westerkappeln, Westphalia, with an initial team of 35 employees. The first product: the “Viennese Selection” – six delicious cream pastries.

Demand for frozen baked goods rises rapidly. In addition to cream pastries, classic cream cakes are now also being offered – including the Black Forest Gateau, which remains one of the most popular cakes in the Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese range to this day.

The product range continues to grow: deliciously baked cakes are added to the assortment. Here too, classic recipes prove to be customer favorites – such as traditional Old Bohemian cakes with apples, plums, or as a cheesecake. Shortly thereafter, Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese introduces the apple strudel – its first product designed to be fully baked in the oven and enjoyed warm.

Construction begins in Osnabrück-Atter: the most advanced frozen goods warehouse of its time is built here. The proven direct delivery method used by the Conditorei becomes the foundation for the subsidiary company Overnight® Tiefkühl-Service GmbH, established in 1994.

The “confectionery in your freezer” launches its first TV commercials. To this day, customers associate the brand Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese with its unmistakable jingle and the slogan: “Where can you still find quality like this?”

The major leap to the “Conditorei 2000”: To meet the continuously growing demand for frozen baked goods in reunified Germany, a second production site is built in Mettingen, Westphalia, and opened in 1992. The facility has the capacity to produce up to 260,000 cream cakes per day. Despite its size, Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese has remained a company rooted in traditional craftsmanship to this day.

Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese is awarded the “Goldener Zuckerhut” for outstanding achievements in the food industry. The “Goldener Zuckerhut” is presented annually by the Lebensmittel Zeitung and is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the sector.

Launch of Germany’s first fully baked, frozen bread rolls: "Unsere Goldstücke" (“Our Little Gold Treasures”).

With its new product line “Cafeteria” – including mini pastries and pre-sliced tray bakes – Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese caters to the growing market of single and two-person households. Bakery classics like mini Berliners or cream puffs suit any occasion and are ready to enjoy in no time.

Frozen baked goods are becoming increasingly popular both in Germany and abroad. The expansion of the Mettingen site continues, and all production is fully relocated from Westerkappeln to this facility.

More and more consumers are placing value on healthy eating. Responding to this trend, the Conditorei launches its new spelt and organic rye rolls kernig & kräftig (“hearty & wholesome”), continuing the success story of the Goldstücke range.

A new twist in the world of cakes: With the Feinste Sahne Stracciatella-Kirsch-Torte, Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese adds a completely new flavor combination to coffee tables everywhere. Shortly after its launch, the new cake becomes one of the most successful products in the range.

A flavor sensation with the Torten-Träume (“Cake Dreams”): These four premium cakes impress with sophisticated ingredients, a striking dome-shaped design, and hand-decorated finishes.

Big flavor in a small cup: In 2011, Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese introduced its first frozen Conditor Desserts. Called Kleiner Augenblick (“Little Moment”), these delicacies feature a refined, one-of-a-kind presentation and set new standards in both quality and taste.
