House of Sweets Enters Insolvency as Stores Close Across Germany

Court-led administration now weighs the chain’s options after a rapid, social media-driven rise.

Overview

  • The Amtsgericht Hannover opened insolvency proceedings in early April 2026 for House of Sweets Hannover GmbH and named lawyer Lars Rühmland as administrator.
  • Multiple branches have shut for good, including Braunschweig, Dortmund and Kassel, with affected locations marked “permanently closed” online.
  • The 350-square-meter Hannover flagship near the main station, opened in August 2024, is closed with shelves now empty.
  • The company’s website keeps the online shop open to view but blocks purchases, citing a move to a larger warehouse.
  • Some stores, including Berlin and Leipzig, remain open, while managers have issued no statement and reports do not detail the causes.
