Pulsnitz is known throughout Germany for its gingerbread

"Pulsnitz is known throughout Saxony and Germany for its gingerbread. The gingerbread market, which is unique in Germany, has been attracting tens of thousands of visitors from near and far for over twenty years," emphasized Klepsch. The market is an example of how cultural heritage, quality craftsmanship and tourism can be combined.

Gingerbread has been baked in Pulsnitz for more than 450 years - according to traditional recipes, with care and a strong sense of quality. Eight gingerbread bakeries and a gingerbread factory continue this legacy to this day. They not only preserve the old art of baking, but also develop it further.
