The partnership of Bergner & Engel was formed in 1870 at the brewery of Bergner (erected 1857-1858) following the dissolution of the partnership of brewers Wolf & Engel. Construction of new buildings and additions and the purchase of new equipment for the Brewerytown complex took place in the 1870s. At this time, Bergner & Engel was one of the largest breweries in the country and had an international reputation. Bergner & Engel ceased operations during prohibition.
