Aktienbrauerei Thun
From 1897, Aktienbrauerei Thun was the name of a beer brewery in Thun that ceased operations in 1904.
history
The first known Thun beer brewery was the Biersieder-Compagnie , which was established around 1800 and was located near the Schwäbisturm . In 1838 Jakob Feller took over this brewery and expanded it in the following years. In 1850 a house with a brewery was added, and in 1859, after a further enlargement, a rock cellar was added behind the Schlossberg to store ice cream and chilled beer.
From 1883 his son Gottfried Feller ran the Feller brewery . In 1897 the Feller brewery was converted into the Thun stock brewery . Gottfried Feller converted. The share capital was 300,000 francs and was divided into 600 shares of 500 francs each.
Since Gottfried Feller was childless, shortly before his death he sold the majority of the shares to the city of Thun and made the Bern Art Museum the main heir in his will. He died on June 22, 1900 at the age of 60. After that the brewery went steadily downhill, in 1904 the Baseler Gesellschaft Zum Kardinal became the owner of the brewery. The brewery was closed in the same year and the company was liquidated in 1905. The brewery industry existed until 1968.
