Brunner-Brau-Aktien-Gesellschaft
The Brunner-Brau-Aktien-Gesellschaft was a brewery in Brunn am Gebirge , which was one of the largest in Austria-Hungary and can be regarded as the first industrial company in Brunn. Today only the rock cellar reminds of the brewery, as well as some street names, such as Brunnerbergstrasse, where the brewery's fountains were located, or Pechhüttenbrunnengasse. The Vesperkreuzstraße, which is reminiscent of the Vesperkreuz or the brewery chapel , is close to the already filled-in brewery pond.
history
The brewery followed a small brewery founded in 1790 in the Kemeter- und Sauerhof (today municipal housing at Leopold Gattringer-Straße 6). The local winegrowers initially offered resistance. It was only with the award of commercial concessions after Joseph II. Some breweries were founded in the area. For example at the Austria brewery in Wiener Neudorf , in Schellenhof (today in Vienna-Liesing, Ketzergasse 123), Mödling or Perchtoldsdorf .
The importance of brewing in the Mödling region is also shown by the fact that Austria's first brewing school was founded as part of the Francisco Josephinum in Mödling . In 1816/1817 a brewery was established, where Patek is named as the founder and in 1817 it becomes the property of a command company "Brunner Brewery Company". A Johann Welponer (Wellponer) is recorded as a brewer in the Franziszeischen Cadastre 1818, folder no. 139 house C 47.
This small brewery for local needs was expanded in 1847 under the management of the Viennese iron trader and Viennese councilor Anton Paul Lechner to the Brunner Brauhaus-Unternehmens-Aktiengesellschaft . This expansion can also be seen in the light of the construction of the southern railway through Brunn, which took place here in 1841. In the following years, the brewery is likely to have expanded considerably and thus gained its importance in Austria-Hungary. In 1865 and 1866, the machine-driven brewhouse was rebuilt and the cooling and storage rooms were expanded so that up to 200,000 hl could be produced annually . 200 people were employed on an area of 19 hectares . The company traded under the name of the Brunner Brewery Company in 1872.
The brewery's beer depots existed in Mödling, Baden , Wiener Neustadt , Neunkirchen , Gloggnitz , Hainburg , Neusiedl am See and Preßburg . In Vienna they were in Brigittenau, Favoriten, Meidling and Währing.
Since the transport to the various places of consumption such as Ödenburg , Raab or Tyrnau was carried out by train, the train also had its own siding that led to the Felsenkeller. The ice depot was in the rock cellar, where the ice was brought from the nearby ponds by carts. One of the most distinguished inns in Mödling, where there were up to 52 inns, was the Brunner Brauhof in Hauptstrasse 1. Later, the district administration was located here and today there is an office and commercial building.
From 1920 to around 1928 the company fire brigade Brauhaus Brunn am Gebirge existed, but it did not belong to the district fire brigade association Mödling and therefore worked independently of the volunteer fire brigade Brunn am Gebirge.
1928/29 was the last business year of the Brunner brewery. With a merger agreement dated July 22, 1930, it was merged with Österreichische Brau AG (Liesing).
