Eberles Süsskramladen was established by baker Johann Georg Eberle in 1842.[3][4] In 1874, Eberle's son, Julius Carl Heinrich, sold the business to family friend Theodor Schrober, who renamed it Conditorei von Thomas Schober. Both the Eberles and Schrober were from Pfullendorf, Germany.[5] In 2011, it was the Conditorei Schrober Tearoom. Restaurateur Michel Péclard[6] later owned the establishment, which he renamed Conditorei Péclard im Schober.[7][8] It was named Café & Conditorei 1842 in 2019 by its current owners, the Arbeitskette Foundation.[9][10]
