“The history of Bergers Cookies began in 1835, when German immigrant Henry Berger arrived in the United States. A baker by trade, Henry came to The Land of Opportunity to follow his dreams, and soon opened a bakery in East Baltimore. In time Henry had three sons, George, Henry and Otto. Years later, young Henry took over his father’s bakery, while brothers Otto and George began their own. The bakery has continued to thrive even through The Great Depression and both World Wars.”
