Demel Opens as a Konditorei by the Hofburg
ESTIMATED75% CONFIDENCEWikipedia[1] gives the year only - "established in 1786 in Vienna" - with no month or day, so the pin sits on that year's last day.
Demel was established in 1786 a few steps from the Hofburg and became confectioner to the imperial court, a title it still puts on its boxes. Its window on the Kohlmarkt and its Anna Torte made it one of the fixtures by which Vienna measures its café culture, and it sits at the centre of a long argument with Hotel Sacher over who may call a cake a Sachertorte.
