Brauerei Schmitt

Brauerei Schmitt is a brewery with a heritage building in Thuringia where beer was made using traditional methods. The structure contains brewing kettles, fermentation rooms, and storage cellars that together display the complete production process.

The building was constructed in 1886 and beer production continued uninterrupted until 1989. This long period of operation shows how important the brewery was to the economic growth of the area.

The place tells the story of brewing knowledge passed through generations and shaped the region's identity. Visitors see the old machines and rooms that reveal how people worked here and what role beer held in their daily lives.

Visitors can explore the site through guided tours where specialists explain the operations. Allow enough time and wear suitable footwear, as you will move through multiple levels and tight spaces.

Although operations ended in 1989, much of the original equipment was never removed and remains visible today. This makes the building a rare example where visitors can enter a production facility frozen in time.
