Keks

Replicas of historical German biscuit packaging based on original designs from the Second World War era. Sweet pastries like these were a popular part of soldier care packages, field canteen supplies, and gifts from home—small comforts that helped ease the hardships of front-line life.

These wrappers are designed to fit modern biscuit packaging, making it easy to conceal present-day products in a visually authentic form. Ideal for reenactors, exhibitions, photography, or film productions.

Leibniz-Keks, produced by the company Bahlsen since the late 19th century, is one of the most iconic German biscuits. Known as “Butter-Keks” even before the war, they were widely available through both civilian and military channels—often included in parcels from family or charitable organizations.

Kessen’s Milch-Keks was a product of Keksfabrik Kessen, based in Dortmund. Their milk biscuits were promoted as nutritious and suitable for children, in line with wartime messaging around “practical nutrition.” The packaging features a period design with the slogan “Nahrhaft ist Kessen’s.”

These reproductions offer a realistic way to recreate soldier rations or care packages with historical accuracy. Perfect for adding detail to field displays, backpacks, or as props in historically accurate scenes.
