City brewery Leipzig
The Leipzig City Brewery was a beer brewery in Leipzig in the Free State of Saxony from 1826 to 1991 .
history
In 1826 the brewery was opened by Carl Friedrich Pochmann in Emilienstraße in Leipzig, a brewery that existed as early as the 14th century and was rebuilt. He was responding to the rapidly growing demand for beer in the Leipzig area. In the beginning, production only included top-fermented beers, which had a long tradition in Leipzig. The Leipzig Gose is still known today .
In 1828 the master brewer Carl Wilhelm Naumann leased the brewery; he also founded his own brewery in Plagwitz . After Pochmann's death, the brewery was initially continued by his family, but in 1837 it was sold to Ephraim Wölbling. Wölbling and his descendants expanded the brewery extensively and expanded the product range. In 1873 Friedrich August Ulrich and his business partner bought the brewery. Ulrich invested in advertising the brewery in order to establish the brand. Based on the four monasteries in Leipzig, he used the monk as an advertising medium for the beer.
In 1911 Arthur Ulrich took over the brewery and converted it into a limited partnership. He ran the brewery until 1931.
In 1938 the brewery produced top- and bottom-fermented beers, malt for its own needs, ice cream, various by-products and non-alcoholic beverages. The shareholders were: Gertrud Ulrich, managing directors Rolf Ulrich and Karl Reinhardt. The brewery owned 80,000 square meters , of which 13,000 square meters were allocated to the brewery in the heart of Leipzig, 15,000 square meters to bottled beer in Leipzig-Großzschocher , and the rest to other properties. The brewery was part of the brewery with steam boiling, 56 quintals of the Weigel double brewing system, storage capacity in wooden, aluminum and steel tanks, three ice machines with 240,000 kcal / h (in today's units this corresponds to an output of approx. 280 kW) , draft and bottled cleaning machines, two steam engines and electric drive, the spent grain drying, the Tennenmälzerei that Darren (system two trays), various trucks and teams with horses. The brewery's failures were in Zeitz-Aylsdorf , Hauptstrasse 22; Zwenkau , Ritterstrasse 10; Merseburg , Bürgergarten 2 and bottled beer in Dieskauer Strasse 177–179 in Leipzig. The workforce comprised 125–135 workers and employees.
After World War II , the brewery escaped by converting it into a limited partnership nor the expropriation . In 1972, however, it was converted into the VEB Stadtbrauerei Leipzig . In 1975 it became part of the Leipzig Beverage Combine. A lack of investment in the production facilities and buildings during the GDR era forced the Stadtbrauerei FA Ulrich GmbH , meanwhile a limited liability company, to close down in 1991.
