Solar Renovation of a Historical Brewery in Bad Tölz, Upper Bavaria
Abstract
Bad Tölz, Upper Bavaria: The historic brewery complex, “Grünerbräu”, ceased operation in 2001 and was threatened with demolition, which would have meant an irretrievable loss to the town’s identity. This fate was prevented by a private businessman, who purchased the complex, courageously renovated the three buildings and diversified their usage. Much of the valuable structure was retained and solar energy is now used directly and indirectly. Since the summer of 2009, even Tölzer beer has been brewed again: “Mühlfeldbräu”. 1.
