Scheidmantel Brewery

history
Heinrich Scheidmantel, a master butcher and innkeeper from Dietersdorf, bought the raft inn and the brewery with malt house in Cortendorf in 1849 . The raft inn was built in 1782 by Johann Peter Poßeckert; the brewery with brewery and malt house came from the brewer Johann Höhn from Neustadt near Coburg , who had bought the raft inn in 1834. The following is documented as total ownership when it was bought by Heinrich Scheidmantel in 1849: two-story tavern, brewery, malt kiln, barrel and wood storage, wagon hall and 1½ acres of agricultural land. Heinrich Scheidmantel had the brewery enlarged in 1854 and 1859. At that time, the existing brewery only covered the needs of the attached raft inn. Heinrich Scheidmantel died in 1879.
His son Stephan Scheidmantel took over the property in 1880. He expanded the company and steadily expanded the business by converting from artisanal to industrial production. The first documented expansion took place in 1886; Here, a storey was added to the brewhouse and kiln , a new massive malt kiln was built, part of the brewery building (with ice cellar and malt barn) was added, and a barrel and wagon hall was built.
Stephan Scheidmantel died in 1914. His widow Anna took over the management of the brewery, followed by son Hermann in 1918. This was able to increase the annual output to around 45,000 hectoliters. The company had up to 50 employees and supplied almost 100 restaurants in the Coburg region and southern Thuringia.
After Hermann Scheidmantel's death in 1946, his widow Anna and daughter Nelly ran the Scheidmantel Brewery, whose sales had dropped to 10,000 hectoliters, particularly due to the lost sales areas in southern Thuringia. Under the direction of Max Dietzel, Nelly's husband, the brewery grew again in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1980, the next generation took over the management with daughter Gabriele Prase and her husband Holger. In 1998 a cooperation with the Kulmbacher brewery began; the properties were later sold to an investor and have been used commercially since then.
Scheidmantel finally had nine types of beer, these were Coburg Pils , Veste Pilsener , Coburg Urhell , Cortendorfer Dunkel , Zwickelbier , Silber Bock , Edel-Weizen , Hefe-Weisse and Blue Bottle . In 2002, the Kulmbacher Brewery founded the Coburger Brewery subsidiary, which sells the Scheidmantel Coburg Pils and Coburger Sturm's Pilsner beers .
building
The building complex of the Scheidmantel brewery consists of a group of historic brick buildings that are structured with sandstone. They were built between 1884 and 1921 by Carl Kleemann, Miller & Hetzel from Munich and Georg Kempf.
The ensemble is bounded by the Itz to the southeast and by Rosenauer Straße to the northwest; today it looks like this:
- At the western end is the “ Mälzerei und Kontor ” building from 1902. It is a three-storey gable roof building with an eaves. The brick building is structured with sandstone and has predominantly segment-arched windows. On the eaves side, the facade is divided into three fields with pilasters. Round-arched twin arcades are installed on the second floor. The pilaster axes are continued in chimneys. The cornices of the windows run all around as a floor division. The gable side is dominated by a gable with small tower structures. Facing the street, the building stands on a high ashlar plinth, as the area rises backwards towards the Itz.
- The “Mälzerei” building is a brick building designed similarly to the “Mälzerei und Kontor” building, but with an L-shaped floor plan, with the empty space being taken up by the “kiln” (see next building). The construction and mechanical engineering office Miller & Hetzel from Munich built the "Mälzerei" building in 1902. The narrow northern facade element (at the tip of the "L") is five-storey with sandstone structures. The ground floor is divided by three entrances, the middle of which is the widest. The malt house towers over the lower buildings to the east.
- The “Darre” enclosed by the “L” of the aforementioned building was built in 1902, also as a brick structure with sandstone structures, by Carl Kleemann and Georg Kempf. With its four storeys, it towers over the five-storey “Mälzerei” building. A tall chimney in the form of a round tower with a profiled end and a double hood protrudes from the kiln. The street-side facade is divided by two blind arches, each framing a segmented arched window axis. The floor division is highlighted with parapet strips. The top of the building is closed by a blind parapet with corner posts and pyramid attachments that recede a little behind the cornice.
- The “Pichlhalle”, built by Georg Kempf in 1913, has been torn down.
- The " Kesselhaus " adjoins the kiln and was built in 1902 as a brick building with sandstone structures. It is two-story and has irregular windows. On a central ornament is a tondo with four wedge stones; Above this is an aedicular relief with brick fields and two frame pilasters made of sandstone. A striking octagonal chimney on a sandstone plinth in the northeast corner. On the east side, the gable wall is made of timber framing with brick infills.
- The "Malztenne" was built in 1884; she stands behind the boiler house. It is a single-storey eaves gable roof construction. After the demolition of the adjoining former brewhouse, which was built at the same time, the gable wall is clearly visible to the northeast. On the south side, the gable roof is loosened up by two large half-timbered dormers.
- The “Malztenne mit Haferboden” building was built in 1902 by Carl Kleemann; it closes the gap that still exists towards the Itz. Towards the river bank, the two-story brick building stands on a ashlar plinth. It is equipped with segmental arched windows and a three-axis front bay window.
- A brewhouse from 1884 was demolished.
- The ice storage cellars were built by Carl Kleemann in 1884, 1890, 1894 and 1899, and by Georg Kempf in 1907 and 1935. They form a large ensemble. Part of the ice storage cellar from 1884 to 1889 was demolished. The western ice cellar was increased in 1889 and extended in 1951 to the north. The flanks of the ice storage cellar facing the Itz are structured with pilaster strips and cornices.
- A bottle cellar was built in 1959 in place of older stable buildings. These older stables were built by Carl Eckardt in 1890 and by Carl Kleemann in 1890 and 1900. As a result of the renovation in 1989 and a repair measure after the brewery was closed, the bottle cellar building was redesigned, partly for office purposes.
- The stable, which was rebuilt by Emil Eichhorn on behalf of Hermann Scheidmantel after a fire in 1921, forms the end of the ensemble to the east. The two-storey brick building with a gable roof and the sandstone structures typical of the entire ensemble has baroque shapes with small segmental arched windows and has loading windows and hatches in the form of dormers.
- A car shed built in 1907 was replaced by a new building after it was demolished. Other smaller buildings were demolished because of a supermarket requiring parking space.
- After two and a half years of renovation, residential and commercial units were created in the former malt house in 2018. The machine and boiler house was demolished. Only two outer walls facing the Itz and the street remained.
- In a second construction phase, the younger ice rinks and beer storage cellars will be demolished and replaced by new residential buildings. Two apartments are being built on the top floor of the older, northern ice rink. The brewhouse tower including the annex with the copper kettles and the former master brewer's office is being renovated.
