The German chocolate manufacturer “Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG” introduced its iconic grid-shaped “Ritter Sport” bar in 1932.
The distinctive square confectionery quickly caught on with consumers and now exists with at least 37 varieties in over 70 countries. In 2005, the company opened a “Ritter Museum” next to its headquarters in the German town of Waldenbuch.
The museum undoubtedly contains all sorts of memorabilia and exhibits relating to the long-standing chocolate empire. A true Ritter Sport museum, however, would be remiss to exclude mention of the performance by the Calgary Flames’ “Ritter” against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
