History
Nowadays it has unfortunately become common practice to brew beer at large and often unsightly industrial facilities. In the past, however, this was not the case. Breweries used to be architecturally striking buildings built mostly from yellow or red brick and added character to the inner city. The well-maintained building complex serves as documentation of the developments in the brewing trade in Berlin and is a testament to Berlin’s growth during the 19th century.
Brick beauty with style
The new façade is based on the existing one with its yellow Markish bricks, oriels, turrets and battlements. Whether it is the former stables, chimney or brewhouse - the design of the new building seeks a direct dialogue with the fascinating architecture of industrialisation. The reference to the building style before the Gründerzeit extends from the outer façade to the interior of the Schultheiss Quarter and is thus also reflected there by the numerous columns and water-struck bricks used.
