Hermann Lörcher remembers a serious accident at work. It happened in the mid-50s. The locksmith Heinrich Brüderlin – known as “Bolle” – had been welding in the brewery’s workshop when a container of flammable liquid caught fire. To prevent a building fire, he carried the burning container out of the workshop. He stumbled and burned his legs. Welding work was feared: “If welding had to be carried out in areas with wooden floors in the brewery, someone would stay on site for several hours to observe whether anything caught fire,” explained Hermann Lörcher.
