Description

The Bodenstein brewery in Magdeburg is the oldest industrial brewery in the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt. On August 8, 1823, the merchant and landowner August Leberecht Bodenstein (1798-1877) founded the A. Bodenstein brewery on his estate at Sieverstorstraße 10. It was one of the first industrial plants in the city to use innovative steam engines. A short time later, Bodenstein was also the first in Magdeburg to acquire an ice machine, enabling controlled refrigeration in the brewery. The brewery achieved fame through the introduction of the lager beer "Bayrisches Bier".
