Record Donation Amount in the Anniversary Year

Created on Jan 27, 2025

Our 150th anniversary year was a year of superlatives: the most awards in beer competitions, the huge festival during the anniversary weekend in summer 2024, more different beer varieties than ever before, an apprentice as German Champion of Brewers and Maltsters, a diamond wedding anniversary for the senior executives, the most successful European brewery at the World Beer Cup... All fantastic records waiting to be broken. Now, another special record has been added that makes us particularly happy: Nearly 20,000 euros—the highest amount in our brewery’s history—were donated to social institutions! From sports clubs to kindergartens, from the fire department to children's hospice work, many were delighted to receive support for their work.

Our managing director Oswald Kundmüller says: "As a family business with over 150 years of tradition, Bamberg County is our home. Many people here achieve great things, and without them, our home wouldn’t be what it is. Countless associations and institutions rely on support from companies and private donations. We want to give something back to the people every year and try to make full use of our possibilities. Whenever possible, we use regional raw materials and rely on local craftsmen and companies for modernization and maintenance. Additionally, we strive to support as many social institutions as possible financially. That’s why we’re so happy that this led to a new donation record in our anniversary year.“

Major Support for the Hospice Association Bamberg e.V.

We have been supporting the work of the Hospice Association Bamberg for a long time, especially the intensive children's and youth hospice care, which requires regular assistance. In addition to supporting the Toy Run Bamberg 2024, the anniversary festival in summer contributed to a donation amounting to 3,000 euros: the entire proceeds from the pigeon market with honorary guests were donated. The revenue from the sale of the 150-year chronicle also went entirely to the Hospice Association Bamberg. Finally, our team added their tips from the festival weekend.

Our managing director and brewmaster Roland is thrilled: "Our team is simply incredible. What they accomplished during the festival weekend cannot be praised enough. The fact that even tips were donated is extraordinary. I’m equally thrilled that so many people bought our 150-year chronicle, resulting in such a large donation. Everyone worked together to make this fantastic support for children's hospice care possible. Thank you!“

Sports for Everyone – 1,500 euros for "Bamreuth" | Wheelchair Basketball at TTL Basketball Bamberg e.V.

Sports clubs are a great pillar of the region. They bring together people of all ages who enjoy movement, adding fun and social connections to their lives. In its anniversary year, the Kundmüller Brewery supported, among many others, the wheelchair basketball team "Bamreuth" of TTL Basketball e.V. Here, fun takes center stage, uniting people with and without disabilities through their love of wheelchair and basketball sports. This inclusion on equal footing was supported with a donation of 1,500 euros.

1,000 euros for the Volunteer Fire Department Viereth

Institutions in our immediate vicinity were also supported. The Volunteer Fire Department Viereth was delighted to receive donations totaling 1,000 euros. Nearly 50% of this amount was allocated to purchasing operational clothing for the youth fire department. Youth development is a priority in Viereth, with regular excursions and training exercises. During the summer holidays, the group even visited our brewery on Professional Firefighter Day. As part of a simulated operation, they first solved a "missing person" scenario and then refreshed themselves with a crate of "Weiherer Mix Cola-Orange.“

In addition to support for the Hospice Association, the Volunteer Fire Department Viereth, and Bamreuth, over 14,000 euros were donated to other associations, kindergartens, fire departments, etc., bringing the total amount distributed to nearly 20,000 euros.
