Wasserturm Landskronbrauerei

Gazing up at this towering giant, have you ever wondered about the stories whispered within the bricks of the Wasserturm Landskronbrauerei? This water tower, built in 1871, has witnessed over a century of brewing history at the Landskron Brewery. The Wasserturm Landskronbrauerei isn’t just a striking landmark. It represents the heart of a brewing tradition that dates back to 1869. The Landskron Brewery, named after the nearby Landeskrone mountain, prides itself on its time-honored brewing methods. Their beer matures for 40 days, a period significantly longer than usual, resulting in unique and complex flavors. This dedication to quality has earned them numerous accolades, including gold medals from the German Agricultural Society’s DLG quality test. The Wasserturm Landskronbrauerei silently observed as the brewery grew, evolving from its humble beginnings to become one of Germany’s largest Brau-Manufaktur. It saw the brewery endure two world wars, 40 years under East German rule, and eventually thrive under private ownership again since 2006 as part of the Dr. Lohbeck group of companies. Imagine the hustle and bustle it witnessed as horse-drawn carriages once delivered the precious brew. Now, it looks over a modern visitor center, welcoming guests daily since 2013 to explore the world of Landskron. The Wasserturm Landskronbrauerei has also played a role in Görlitz’s “Görliwood” fame, serving as a backdrop for films like Jackie Chan’s “Around the World in 80 Days.” From a bustling brewery to a silent film star, the Wasserturm Landskronbrauerei has seen it all. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Landskron Brewery, a symbol of its past, present, and future.
