The '''Halloren Chocolate Factory''' ({{langx|de|Halloren Schokoladenfabrik}}) is the oldest German chocolate factory.<ref>[http://www.halloren.de/schokoladenfabrik/portrait.html Halloren – Firmenportrait<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070728131908/http://www.halloren.de/schokoladenfabrik/portrait.html|date=2007-07-28}}</ref> The first mention of the firm dates back to 1804. The firm was founded in [[Halle, Saxony-Anhalt]] where its headquarters are today. In 1851 the company was named '''Friedrich David & Söhne'''. In the year 1905 the company was transformed into a shareholder company; thus the company name being altered to '''David Söhne AG''' accordingly. Another name change in 1933 made it '''Mignon Schokoladenwerke AG''' and since 1952 it has been known by its current name '''Halloren'''.<br />
<br />
Its most famous products are the "Halloren-Kugeln", or Halloren globes, which receive their name from the early [[salt]] workers, the "Halloren", whose festive dress has ball-shaped buttons which the chocolates resemble.<ref>{{cite web|title=Die Halloren|url=http://www.salinemuseum.de/halle-saale/die-halloren/|access-date=2016-10-10|archive-date=2013-11-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109200440/http://www.salinemuseum.de/halle-saale/die-halloren/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The brand was especially popular in the former [[German Democratic Republic]] and remained popular after reunification.<br />
<br />
In 2013, the company secured a majority share in the Belgian chocolate producer Bouchard.<ref>Nieburg, Oliver.

Accessed 3 June 2015</ref><br />
<br />
The factory also features the '''Halloren Schokoladenmuseum''' (Halloren Chocolate Museum), which includes exhibits about the history of chocolate, chocolate making equipment, molds, and a view of the factory process.<br />
