DE: Der gelernte Bonbon-Kocher Johann "Hans" Riegel gründete 1920 in Bonn die Firma Haribo. Der Firmenname setzt sich dabei aus den jeweils ersten beiden Buchstaben von "Hans Riegel Bonn" zusammen. 1922 erfand Hans Riegel dann den Vorläufer des heutigen Goldbären und konnte diesen erfolgreich auch international vermarkten.
1925 wurden auch Lakritzprodukte in das Sortiment aufgenommen. Durch diese Ausweitungen errichtete man im Bonner Stadtteil Kessenich Anfang der 1930er Jahre die noch heute aktive Produktionsstätte und verlegte auch den Verwaltungssitz dorthin. Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg verschafften verschiedene Kooperationen und Übernahmen ausländischer Süßwarenhersteller, sowie der Aufbau von Vertriebsorganisationen der Firma Haribo einen internationalen Bekanntheitsgrad.
2009 entschloss sich die Firmenleitung, den bisherigen Verwaltungssitz in Bonn aufzugeben, weil die Umgebung in Bonn keinen Platz für eine weitere Expansion bot. Der Verwaltungssitz wurde mit einer zusätzlichen Produktionsstätte in der Region Grafschaft (in Rheinland-Pfalz) neu aufgebaut, die Produktionstätte in Bonn blieb erhalten.
Wegen der geltenden Hygienegesetze ist eine Führung durch die Werke leider nicht möglich.

EN: The trained candy maker Johann "Hans" Riegel founded the Haribo company in Bonn in 1920. The company name is made up of the first two letters of the words "Hans Riegel Bonn". In 1922, Hans Riegel invented the forerunner of today's gold bear and was able to successfully market it internationally.
In 1925, liquorice products were also added to the range. As a result of these expansions, the production facility, which is still active today, was built in the Kessenich district of Bonn in the early 1930s and the administrative headquarters were also relocated there. After the Second World War, various partnerships and takeovers of foreign confectionery manufacturers, as well as the establishment of sales organizations, made Haribo internationally known.
In 2009 the company management decided to give up the previous administrative headquarters in Bonn because the area around Bonn offered no space for further expansion. The administrative headquarters were rebuilt with an additional production facility in the Grafschaft region (in Rhineland-Palatinate), the production facility in Bonn was retained.
Unfortunately, due to the hygiene laws in force, a tour of the plants is not possible.
