Sankt Marx Brewery
The Sankt Marx brewery was a beer brewery in the 3rd district of Vienna, Landstrasse . The brewery owned by the Mautner Markhof family was later merged with Anton Dreher's Breweries Aktiengesellschaft under Anton Dreher junior . Before the merger, the brewery was the third largest in mainland Europe.
history
In 1706 the St. Lazar Hospital, which was destroyed by the Turks and rebuilt, was incorporated into the Vienna Citizens Hospital with the St. Mark ("Marx") and the associated brewery. It is not known when this brewery was founded in Sankt Marx . It is known that this brewery supplied the beer house of the Vienna Citizens' Hospital with beer as early as 1537 .
The Wiener Bürgerspital only ran the Sankt Marx brewery itself for a few years, then the brewery was leased. After numerous changes, Adolf Ignaz Mautner was the first tenant from 1841 to run the business successfully and from 1843 to produce bottom-fermented draft beer during the summer months. On October 1, 1857, the Bürgerspital sold
- the brewery with brewing justice,
- the pub with the bar,
- the bakery with the baking justice and
- the forge, the supply house, the gardens and fields
the previous tenant.
Although the Sankt Marx brewery, which is adjacent to Vienna's Zentralviehmarkt and the Sankt Marx slaughterhouse, was a strong competitor of the Schwechat brewery , Viktor Mautner Ritter von Markhof agreed to the merger with Anton Dreher's breweries Aktiengesellschaft in 1913 .
