Küpper-Brauerei, Industrial heritage brewery in Elberfeld, Germany.
Küpper-Brauerei is an industrial complex with three main buildings on Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse, displaying architectural features from the 19th century industrial era. The stone facades and internal structures reflect the craft and technical requirements needed for beer production during that period.
The brewery was founded in 1828 and remained an important producer in the region for many decades. A merger with another brewery in the 1800s and the shift away from beer production in the late 1900s transformed the site from active factory to its present cultural uses.
The former brewery buildings now serve as creative and cultural spaces where artists, musicians, and designers work and perform. These uses have transformed the industrial site into a place where people gather for art, music, and community events.
The complex is protected as a monument and divided into separate sections with different functions and accessibility. Visitors should note that not all parts of the site are open to the public, and some facilities have specific opening times or require advance notice.
The brewery produced multiple beer varieties rather than focusing on a single type, allowing it to reach different markets and tastes. This approach to making various beer styles was key to its success during the competitive brewing industry of that era.
