The Nuremberg Bridal Cup is a cherished symbol of German culture, and it’s the perfect way to bring a touch of Bavarian charm to any wedding celebration. Designed so both the bride and groom can drink from the cup at the same time, this traditional German wedding cup embodies unity and festivity. The elegant pewter cup is a delightful addition to the ceremony, adding a sense of tradition and joy to the occasion.
Centuries ago, in the heart of Nuremberg, a goldsmith fell in love with Kunigunde, a nobleman’s daughter. Her father, determined to prevent the marriage, devised a clever challenge: the goldsmith could only wed his daughter if he crafted a vessel from which both the bride and groom could drink simultaneously without spilling a drop. Rising to the occasion, the goldsmith created what we now know as the Nuremberg Wedding Cup - a masterpiece that allowed two people to drink together in perfect harmony. The symbolic cup became a beloved tradition in Bavaria, and the Nuremberg Bridal Cup continues to play a special role in traditional German weddings today.
