<span>Pardubice town is used to
be called &quot;the city of Ginger-Bread&quot; and
local people are simply ginger-bread-people.<br />
What exactly Ginger-Bread is? And what it meant in the past and
mean at the present for Pardubice? Honey based baked goods seam to
be as old as human being so far. Ginger-Bread (originally called
Pepper-bread) is a sweet baking prepared with a honey, flour and a
pepper. Right because of pepper it was initially called
Pepper-Bread.<br />
Archeologists found simple bakings made of flour and honey in the
Egyptian graves. In the times of the Antique, Ginger-Bread used to
have a symbolic and a solemn meaning. Time passed by and gourmets
were making ginger-bread better and better by adding a new
flavourings. Technological progress brought its good as well and
today we can choose among lots of basic kinds of Ginger-Bread
reciepes including many forms, tastes and smellings.<br />
The firtst ever written notice about Ginger-Bread in Bohemian
countries comes from 1335. It meantions ginger-bread bakers from
Trutnov. In Prague they were earlier. Supposedly it was before
1324. Perhaps from Norimberk or Italy. They called themselves
&quot;caletn&iacute;ci&quot; and since 1348 there is a street having their name -
Celetn&aacute; street (Caletn&aacute;). Archive materials talk of a fist
Pardubice Ginger-Bread baker in 1515. Ginger-Bread guild already
was in existence in the times of &quot;Vil&eacute;m z Pern&scaron;tejna&quot;
.<br />
Ginger-Bread makers were almost killed by Hussites. These virtuous
people did not like the populace to play dice for the
Ginger-Breads. The first kinds of Ginger-Bread were simple thin
oval cakes and also Ginger-Breads made by filling the pastry
moulds. Till the 16th century there were only pastry moulds made of
baked clay. Later they were changed for wooden ones, often heavily
carved. The most favourite wood material was a pear tree, but there
are many of those which survived until these days made of a cherry
tree, a plum tree, a linden tree or a beech tree. Cutted out
Ginger-Breads of plenty shapes appeared recently.<br />
The fame of Pardubice Ginger-Bread has quite young history. In the
middle ages and during the 19th century Pardubice Ginger-Bread
bakers were seen as an average ones. Until the 1st half of the 19th
century there were only honey Ginger-Breads baked by filling the
pastry moulds.<br />
Famous became Pardubice Ginger-Bread with a modern factory
manufacturing and a massive sales campaign in the 1st quarter of
the 20th century. In the years of the 1st republic Pardubice became
probably the biggest producer of the Ginger-Bread in the country
and its goods were exported even to Mexico. There were a few
factories in those times manufacturing Ginger-Breads. They were
incredibly emloying 2000 of people. To compare, it was as much as a
Fantoma factory (Paramo today) emloyed.<br />
These days, Pardubice Ginger-Bread is defined as a baking goods
made of wheat flour, sugar, egg, bee honey, fruit jams, vegetable
fat, cocoa, Ginger-Bread flavouring spice (ginger, coriander seed,
clove, aniseed, allspice) and baking agents.<br />
Pardubice Ginger-Bread is a trade mark of Euroean Union and its
manufacture is delimited by a cadastral area of the Pardubice town,
including cadastral area of the Spojil village.<br />
