After more than 300 years, a popular brewery is shutting down, and workers have taken to the streets

The popular German brewery Eichbaum has decided to permanently close its doors after failed attempts to find a buyer or restructure its operations. Around 240 employees will soon receive termination notices, and plans for their temporary employment through a transition company have been abandoned. The closure comes due to financial difficulties and unsuccessful sales efforts, leaving the company unable to continue operating profitably while maintaining its assets for creditors. Despite various restructuring measures, the brewery continues to operate at a loss and cannot meet additional insolvency loans. Employees were informed of the decision during an emergency meeting, where they expressed disappointment but remained disciplined and cooperative. The exact timeline for the closure and the process of terminating employees remains unclear at this time.
