About this place Erich Hamann

Erich Hamann is a chocolate shop that’s been around almost a century, a family business that survived Berlin's wild swings. Erich Hamann himself started it in 1912. By 1928, the shop was on Brandenburgische Straße, in a building put together by Johannes Itten, a big name from the Bauhaus school. This place is one of the few left from what used to be a seven-store chain across Berlin in the 1920s and 30s. From the start, they’ve stuck to dark chocolate—Bittere Schokolade. When you walk in, you feel that history. It’s the real deal: a business run by the same family for generations. Gerhard, Erich and Anna Hamann’s son, runs it now. He's kept it going through wars and rebuilding. And the storefront itself, with its Bauhaus lines, is a piece of early 20th-century design. So you get a bit of architecture and history with your chocolate. It’s not some trendy spot. It’s got character, a product made with real dedication, and a connection to Berlin’s past.

The shop has a very classic and minimalist look; everything appears well-maintained. The chocolate tastes good, but you simply don't get enough for the price. Thirteen euros for a small bar and a few gummies – that just doesn't feel right.

The best dark chocolate EVER! A place for sweet indulgence for over 100 years. Thank you for being there :) P.S.: Not exactly cheap – but handcrafted and high-quality – made in Berlin.
