For centuries, the traditional Carlsbad wafers helped shape the unique atmosphere of the famous spa town. Their airy lightness, singular aroma and delicious taste have seduced many a famous person. Among others, the spa wafers were relished by the Russian Tsar Peter the Great, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and famous poets Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller.
Although the wafers are typical for Carlsbad, their beginnings lie in obscurity. Sweet round wafers are first documented by the preserved baking pans, the so-called oplatnice, the oldest of which date approximately to the second third of the 18th century. Back then, the delicacy was only 13 cm in diameter, but already richly decorated. The first written record of Carlsbad wafers comes from the guidebook to Carlsbad from 1788. This documents a tradition of home-made wafers which lasted for another eighty years until the 1860s, when the popularity of the spa wafers had grown so much that home-made wafers alone could no longer satisfy the demand and the first large-scale bakery opened.
