It was simpler, more intense and harder than today. But even back then, there were people who fought for their dreams with a lot of courage, energy and patience. And that is where this special story starts … Anton Bachmann knew he’d have to work hard to realise his dream of having his own bakery in Sursee. Together with his wife, he managed to bake his way into the people’s hearts. Anton’s dream laid the groundwork for everything that the subsequent generations of the Bachmann family have built and achieved. Later, the Wesemlin bakery brought his son Hans to Lucerne, and Raymond took over our family business as part of the third generation. Matthias and Raphael have been managing Con- fiserie Bachmann since 2006. Not much remains of the world in which our great-grand­ parents began to hone their baking craft 125 years ago. New innovations have been developed and old ones left behind. But the DNA of Bachmann has not changed in all that time, rooted as it is in the desire to produce products of the highest quality, to innovate and never stand still. 1897 5 A look back over the last 125 years – Milestones
