The History of the KIPFEL or “CROISSANT”

The Battle of Vienna
The Battle of Vienna is perhaps the most famous and widespread story surrounding the croissant.
In 1683, Vienna was under siege by the Turks. After several months of trying to starve the city into submission, the Turks attempted to tunnel underneath the walls of the city. Bakers hard at work in their underground kitchens heard the sounds of the Turks digging and alerted the city’s defenders. This advance warning gave the defenders enough time to do something about the tunnel before it was completed. Soon afterwards, King John III of Poland arrived at the head of an army that defeated the Turks and forced them to retreat.
To celebrate their victory, several bakers in Vienna made a pastry in the shape representing the Turkish crescents they had seen on the enemy’s flags.
They called this new pastry the “Kipfel” which is the German word for “crescent” and continued baking if for many years.
