Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle
The Prince Bismarck source is a northern German mineral water brand , which until 30 June 2017 for Nestlé belonged Corporation. The soft drinks manufacturer Hansa-Heemann ( Hella Mineralbrunnen ) from Rellingen (Pinneberg district) took over operations on July 1, 2017. The fountain and filling systems of the Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle are located in Reinbek - Krabbenkamp . According to the company's own presentation, however, water pumping and bottling would take place in Aumühle ( Herzogtum Lauenburg district ). So it was wrongly stated on the bottle labels, contrary to the Mineral Water Ordinance. The new owner now names Aumühle / Reinbek as the source location on the bottle labels.
source
The Fürst Bismarck water is obtained on the edge of the Sachsenwald from a depth of 120 meters on the Stormarn side of the Bille . 105 permanent employees work in three shifts around the clock, seven days a week, every hour, filling 84,000 bottles of the mineral water in various forms of sale. The Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle has an annual production volume of more than 100 million liters. The Reinbeker Klosterquelle (formerly Reinbeker Schloßquelle ) mineral water is also bottled in the company.
The Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle company never belonged to the Bismarck family. Since 1906, however, it has received leases and royalties for land and names.
An international marketing of Bismarck water planned by Nestlé in 2003 and the nationwide distribution of the monastery spring was not implemented. The city of Reinbek had specially changed its zoning plan and the development plan for this purpose in order to make structural extensions possible.
history
According to the company legend, Prince Otto von Bismarck discovered the spring himself during a morning walk in 1891 and from then on drank a sip from it every morning.
In 1906, the restaurant owner Franz Köller received permission to sell the spring water in bottles under the name Friedrichsruher Tafel-Wasser - Bismarck Quelle in the Sachsenwald for a lease . The company, which was renamed Fürst Bismarck Quelle a few years later , got into financial difficulties during the First World War and had to be sold to the Rhenser Mineralbrunnen am Rhein in 1922 . The company later merged with other spring companies to form the Blue Springs .
Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle belonged to the Nestlé Group from 1974 to 2017.
In 1995, the Bismarckquelle undertook to cover the electricity costs for the 60 meter high fountain in Hamburg's Inner Alster . Although the contract was not due to end until 2001, the company surprisingly stopped payments for the Alster fountain in 2000. The Bismarckquelle justified this with restructuring in the marketing budget. They did not want to confirm suspected sales problems. Fountain organizer Carlheinz Hollmann was quoted in the Hamburger Abendblatt with the statement: "The reasoning is unbeatable in terms of embarrassment."
Due to the lack of public buildings in Krabbenkamp, the Bismarckquelle made rooms available as a polling station for political elections for many years, but this ended in 2013 without any explanation.
