Münchner Kindl

A Munich Brewing Heritage Reborn

A New Chapter Begins Soon

Behind the historic brick façade of Münchner Kindl lies a new chapter in Munich's brewing story. Through photographs of the building, its industrial character and the people involved, this story explores the place and its evolving identity.

The historic red-brick Münchner Kindl building seen from an angled exterior view, its tall arched windows standing beside a modern glass and steel structure under a clear blue sky
The red-brick Münchner Kindl building seen straight on, its tall arched windows and central arched portal opening onto a gravel yard beneath a pale sky
The hall seen from above the elevated steel-mesh walkway running along the left wall, dark steel roof trusses and hanging pendant lamps overhead, bright sunlight falling diagonally across the pale walls and the smooth grey floor where machinery wrapped in protective sheeting rests on wooden pallets and a wall-mounted crane stands beside a railed floor opening, a great arched window lighting the far end
Two dark horse figures in harness standing on the building's upper gallery level beside a traditional wooden beer wagon stacked with red-rimmed barrels, a second wooden carriage beyond, with the bright ground floor, stacked chairs and brewing pipework visible below the elevated steel walkway
A bright hall inside the facility furnished with rows of light wooden tables and slatted wooden chairs on a concrete floor, large black-framed industrial windows along the left wall, big black pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling among exposed ductwork and a small chalkboard standing at the far end
Two enormous horizontal wooden brewing casks with red-painted rims standing on timber cradles in a dark brick room, an open doorway glowing behind them and a circular spotlight falling on an inscribed stone set into the tiled floor
A traditional wooden beer delivery wagon stacked with tiers of red-rimmed barrels lettered Münchner Kindl, standing on an elevated steel-mesh floor beside a two-wheeled wooden handcart carrying two smaller kegs, with dark horse figures in harness and another carriage beyond and daylight falling through great arched windows at the right
A large vintage stationary engine with a massive dark cast-iron flywheel on four thick spokes, its connecting rod and crosshead running behind a low metal guardrail, standing on a black-and-white checkered tiled floor in a machine hall bathed in deep red and amber light, a lit manufacturer's plaque flanked by two round gauges mounted on the wall behind it and a framed tool board hanging above a metal chest to the right
A large polished stainless-steel brewing vessel with a steep conical bottom standing on braced metal legs in an unfinished room, exposed terracotta block walls and steel ceiling beams around it and bright daylight pouring in from an opening at the upper right
Four large stainless-steel conical brewing vessels standing in a row on heavy cylindrical legs inside a bare concrete hall, a hexagonal tiled floor with a metal drain grate in front of them, two stacked metal boxes on the floor before the tanks, work benches and gear along the left wall and overhead ductwork beneath an illuminated hanging light
A red forklift in the foreground with its tall mast raised and its tines set at the edge of an open trailer bed, the driver seated at the controls, while a white tractor-trailer stands with its curtain sides drawn back to reveal stainless-steel brewing tanks and plastic-wrapped machinery on wooden pallets, a worker standing within the load, all on a gravel yard scattered with fallen autumn leaves beneath golden trees in bright sunlight
Two large stainless-steel brewing vessels with conical bottoms resting on wooden skids on a gravel yard in front of the historic red-brick building, its tall black-framed arched windows reflecting the trees, bright sunlight falling from the upper left across autumn leaves with wooden crates and cooling units standing further back
