Discover the World of Chocolate

Nestled at Charlottenstraße 60 right beside the iconic Gendarmenmarkt, Rausch Schokoladenhaus stands as a monumental tribute to chocolate artistry. Spanning three expansive floors totaling more than 1,500 square meters, this is recognized as the largest chocolate house worldwide.

Over 250 unique chocolate creations line the legendary praline counter—the longest of its kind—crafted daily by skilled chocolatiers using time-honored techniques from a century-old tradition.

The Praline Counter and Manufactory

The heart of the experience is the endless praline display, showcasing flavors like butter caramel, fleur de sel, waffle nougat, and cherry marzipan. Each piece is handmade, blending high-percentage cacao with premium ingredients for a melt-in-the-mouth intensity that avoids bitterness.

Prices hover around 6€ per item, offering accessible luxury.

Rausch Deli and To-Go Delights

For those on the move, the Deli provides pure drinking chocolates, coffee specialties, creamy sorbets, and sliced tarts.
