Timișoreana Brewery

[3] After the Ottomans were driven out in 1716, the military administration of the fortress under Prince Eugene of Savoy ordered the installation of kettles in 1718 to supply drinking water to residents.

[5] In 1872, the stock market crash in Vienna produced an economic recession throughout the Austrian Empire, the effects of which were also felt by Timișoara.

The brewery here was put up for auction and purchased by Alexander Bayer, who sacrificed his entire fortune in an attempt to save it from bankruptcy.

[6] In 1874 the brewery was temporarily taken over by the First Savings Bank (German: Erste Sparkasse)[7] and in 1882 it was bought by the brewer Ignaz Deutsch from Vienna.

The destruction caused by the fire allowed a complete re-technologization to the highest standards of the time, the brewery becoming one of the most modern beer production units in Southeast Europe.
