Adler brewery in Coswig
The Adler-Brauerei Coswig , also Lößnitz-Quell , was a beer brewery in Coswig in the Saxon district of Meißen .
history
In 1444 the communities around Meißen were granted brewing rights, including Coswig. This date is incorrectly stated on some beer labels as the brewery's founding date. In fact, the first documentary mentions of the Coswig beer did not exist until 1500.
The Coswig brewery was first mentioned in a document in 1628, at that time the owners were Nicol Leutericz and Valten Jost. FE Petermann acquired a brandy distillery , the brewery, the malt house and the house with stables from a Jost in 1706 . From the Weiten Born a three-kilometer-long wooden water pipe to the brewery was built in 1738 to meet the brewing water demand. The Petermanns ran the brewery until 1847. It was taken over by JG Raschenberger in 1878, A. Zschongel in 1886, F. Gebhardt in 1896 and Gustav Liebscher as the Coswig brewery in 1902.
The Saalhausen master brewer Gustav Herrmann Emmrich bought the inn in 1920 and renamed it the Adler Brewery Coswig . Until 1912 the beer in the cellar was cooled with the ice from the surrounding ponds, which was deposited there in winter. In 1912 a cooling machine was installed and production could be increased.
From 1938 the owners were Hermann & Fritz Emmrich. They leased the brewery to Johann Hauk in 1945 and to Gotthard Böhme in 1953. In 1958, Emmrich's son Joachim took over the brewery. This continued to produce until 1978, although the pressure of the scarcity of raw materials and the competitive pressure of the nationalized breweries was very high. In the same year he had to cease operations.
Lößnitz-Pils is produced today in the contract brewing process in the Glückauf-Brauerei GmbH in Gersdorf.
The name for Lößnitz-Pils , Lößnitz-Bock and Lößnitz-Quell is derived from the Lößnitz landscape northeast of the brewery , where the water came from.
