THE  CHOCOLATE  ROOM

Halle/Saale, Germany  (2017)

The oldest chocolate museum in Halle/Saale, Germany of the well known 'Halloren' chocolate factory decided to upgrade their existing chocolate room with the production of completely new objects in solid chocolate and asked Gerhard to be the project Manager of such huge task. Together with his team and the 'Pralineum' Chocolatier team of Halloren they managed to deliver an incredible and maybe Germany's most impressive chocolate room with  1450 kg of chocolate used in around 5000 working hours.

The chocolate table by Gerhard Petzl

Company owner Mr. Ernst David sitting at his desk surrounded by his working documents. Next to him a coffee table with lots of goodies on it, representing the golden years of the famous  'Mignon' product which enabled the company a fast growing development of the company and a solid foundation for future investments. With the introduction of the famous 'Halloren' ball an iconic product was in place, even until today.
