Parkbrauerei Pirmasens: Renovation brings new shine and hope!
A lot is happening in Pirmasens: The Park Brewery is currently being extensively renovated. Managing director Roald Pauli has ambitious plans to make the brewery fit for the future. The company buildings are currently scaffolded and the work extends across Rodalberstrasse and Zweibrücker Strasse. “The conversion is necessary to optimize the quality of our products and operational processes,” explains Pauli. The scaffolding is erected from the upper company entrance on Rodalber Strasse to Zweibrücker Strasse, which clearly shows that hand work is being done here.
But the renovation is not the only construction site in the region. At the Zweibrücken Hofenfelsstrasse The “Quartier Alte Brewery” project has been at a standstill for three and a half years. A legal dispute with residents seemed to have already been resolved, but now a new insolvency application against Manfred Schenk, the head of the project company, is causing a stir. The standard insolvency procedure was applied for by both Schenk and the tax office, and the director of the Pirmasens district court, Sabine Schmidt-Wilhelm, confirmed the procedure. These developments cast a shadow over the plans for the use of the site.
Market development in the brewery industry
The situation in Pirmasens and the surrounding area is symptomatic of a change in the brewery industry. It's no secret that almost 100 breweries have disappeared in Germany in recent years, a trend that doesn't just affect local businesses. According to that Consumer Protection Forum It shows that many small and medium-sized breweries are struggling in very difficult economic situations. The market is overloaded and competition cannot be ignored. In contrast, the Parkbrauerei has recognized the signs of the times and is investing in independence.
What's next? That remains to be seen. The Park Brewery renovations appear to be a step in the right direction. While the conversion is making progress, clear progress on the Hofenfelsstrasse project would be desirable in order to truly exploit the potential of the area. An exciting phase for brewing culture in the region!
