Löwenbrauerei

The Löwenbrauerei is a brewery and architectural monument in Berlin's Lichtenberg district featuring large brick buildings with arched windows and ironwork. The complex displays industrial architecture typical of the late 1800s with thick red masonry and heavy metal frameworks.

The brewery was founded in 1892 during Berlin's industrial expansion and became a major production center. The facility shaped the character of the neighborhood and reflects how Berlin's brewing industry grew throughout the 20th century.

The name refers to the Lion Brewery brand, and the complex shows how Berlin's craftspeople designed their production spaces. The preserved structures reveal how central breweries were to the city's everyday life and social fabric.

The complex is located in northeastern Berlin and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should take time to explore the outdoor building structures and notice the preserved brickwork throughout the site.

The facility was expanded at different periods and therefore displays different building styles side by side. This layering of architecture from multiple decades makes the site a timeline of Berlin's industrial development.
