Adolph Roniger (born August 29, 1880 in Rheinfelden ; † March 20, 1961 in Basel ) was a Swiss brewer and entrepreneur.
Adolph Roniger was the eldest son of Theophil Roniger . He took over the management in 1913 and developed Feldschlösschen into Switzerland's leading brewery. Roniger motorized the brewery from 1913 and led it through both world wars, in which rising raw material prices and supply shortages caused sales to collapse. During his time as director, the brewery increased its production from 250,000 hl in 1914 to over 600,000 hl around 1960 and in 1920 introduced the successful "Hopfenperle". Roniger was President of the Swiss Brewers' Association.
His younger brother was the writer and publisher Emil Roniger . In 1915 he married the daughter of the brewery owner Hürlimann , Anna Bertha Charlotte Hürlimann (1888–1931). Together they had a daughter, Eva Roniger (1915–1928). You support Jakob Strasser financially for the creation of drafts and for the four murals created in 1932 in the abdication chapel of the Waldfriedhof Rheinfelden .
