Henninger Brewery

In 1966, under the aegis of majority shareholder Bruno H. Schubert, Henninger ranked number three amongst all breweries in Germany in terms of sales and expanded its reach worldwide.

The company founded subsidiaries or brewed under license in countries like Argentina (Cerveceria Schneider S. A., Santa Fé), Italy, Spain (Henninger Española), Greece (Henninger Hellas S.A) and the U.S.[1] In 1980 tobacco and cigarette producer Reemtsma bought the brewery, but was unsuccessful in developing the brand further.

[4] The last brew at the old brewery site was produced on December 20, 2001,[5] before the buildings were demolished and gave way for a modern residential development called "Stadtgärten Henninger Turm".

Henninger tower), erected in 1961 as a grain storage silo with a barrel-like top with viewing platform and a revolving restaurant was the tallest building in Frankfurt until 1974 and had been placed under protection and classified as a historical monument.
