history

The Müglitztal brewery was founded in 1881 as the Hänel & Leupold brewery . In 1886, Franz Gustav Ulbricht took over the company and founded a family business that would last for three generations. The brewery was renamed Ulbrichtsche Brewery . During a visit by the Saxon King Friedrich August III. in Glashütte, he praised the Glashütte beer .

In 1919 Ulbricht's son Gustav Willy took over the brewery and renamed it the Müglitztal Brewery G.Ulbricht . He negotiated a contract with the Kulmbacher brewery for the distribution of Kulmbacher beer. Until 1919 only simple beer was brewed, since then also light full beer. In 1932, the Glashütte municipal council also gave him permission to use Glashütte's city coat of arms on promotional items such as beer coasters and beer glasses.

In 1939, the brewery owned 20,000 square meters. The following equipment was available: electric cooling machine, brewhouse, nine quintals of bulk. The haulage business comprised two trucks. Six workers and employees ran the brewery. The Müglitztal brewery belonged to the Reichsinnungsverband des Brauer- und Mälzerhandwerk Berlin - Brewers and Maltsters Guild of Saxony.

In 1946, Willy Herbert Ulbricht took over the brewery after the sudden death of his father. In 1952 the brewery was taken over by Helmut Ulbricht. In 1972 the brewery was closed due to his serious illness and was only used as a bottling plant until the company was shut down in 1981. In 2008, the brewery was demolished because a local watch manufacturer wanted to expand its premises to build another production building. Due to the economic downturn, however, the site was initially leveled and a park was built.

Some objects of the former brewery could be saved from demolition. The hood of the former brewing pan will find a place on the premises of the Rechenberger brewery. In the Radeberger Brewery Museum , parts of the transmissions , screw conveyors and bucket elevators , a barrel calibration device , a 100-liter barrel, a malt cart , malting sieves , parts of the mass filter , malt sacks and various small parts as well as a container from the fermentation cellar are to be exhibited.
