Overview
- The Hamburg district court ordered preliminary insolvency on March 5 and appointed lawyer Dr. Kévin Paul-Hervé Tanguy as provisional administrator.
- Operations continue at the Hamburg and Kiel sites under oversight, and employee pay is covered by insolvency money through the end of April.
- Around 60 workers are affected across both locations, including many in mini-jobs, and their future employment remains uncertain.
- Landgang’s July 2025 takeover of Kiel’s Lille brewery failed to lift volumes, leaving the acquired brand and its staff exposed to the current proceedings.
- Production fell well short of plans, with reports citing under 3,000 hectoliters brewed versus a roughly 5,000-hectoliter target, against a broader decline in Germany’s beer market documented by official statistics.
