Design & Historical Significance
The tin features exquisitely detailed medieval scenes of Nuremberg, capturing bustling village life with knights, market traders, musicians and townsfolk. The lid proudly displays a portrait of Konrad Gross (†1335), an influential medieval patrician and benefactor of Nuremberg. Surrounded by rustic houses, stone towers and heraldic shields, the artwork evokes the rich cultural and monastic baking traditions of the region — an era when Lebkuchen was first created by monks and later exported across Europe.
-
Produced by E. Otto Schmidt, one of Germany’s oldest and most respected Lebkuchen bakeries (est. 1927), this tin reflects the golden age of European lithographed packaging. The vibrant palette, ornate border pattern and traditional Gothic text all highlight the pride Munich and Nuremberg families took in festive baking heritage.

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.
