Original Haribo Rotella

Here in a small backyard laundry-kitchen, began the history of the now world-famous company. On December 13, 1920, Hans Riegel had the company name HARIBO® entered in the trade registry of the city of Bonn as an acronym of HAns RIegel BOnn. In 1921, Hans Riegel married his wife Gertrud and she became the first employee in the young company.
