After the end of the First World War, Heinen, a company based in the Kessenich district of Bonn, is looking for a confectioner, and Hans Riegel becomes a partner in the business. The company name is changed to Heinen & Riegel. Hans Riegel goes his own way. On 13.12.1920, the firm of HARIBO is entered in the Bonn Commercial Register. Hans Riegel acquires a house in Bergstraße in Kessenich, where he sets up his first production plant.
