its brewery in Schiltigheim the brewery will be vacated within three years Schiltigheim near Strasbourg used to be France’s beer capital had nearly two dozen independent family breweries Following a series of acquisitions and closures was the last of Schiltigheim’s heritage breweries still in operation It produced some 1.5 million hl beer in 2021 among them brands like Heineken and Desperados there have been persistent rumours that Heineken but a cash injection of EUR 9.3 million (USD 11 million) in 2017 which increased capacity to 1.7 million hl beer Heineken justified the cessation of Schiltigheim by pointing to “the many constraints to which the site is subject” its isolation in the city centre which “prevents any expansion” its “excessive production costs due to certain obsolete equipment” and its “strategy of industrial diversification which did not bear fruit” A heritage brewery will be replaced by a microbrewery The volumes produced at Schiltigheim will be transferred to its breweries in Mons-en-Barœul (current capacity: 3.5 million hl) near Lille in the north of France and to Marseille (1.7 million hl) in the south They will benefit from an investment of EUR 100 million (USD 104 million) towards their expansion and “improvement of environmental performance” named after the Fischer brewery in Schiltigheim as its Alsatian identity is a marketing argument A similar plan was hatched for the Brand brewery in Wijlre in the Netherlands It shall close in 2024 and will be replaced by a microbrewery to preserve the heritage The three leading players in beer – Heineken AB-InBev – continued to dominate domestic beer production in 2021 All three saw their on-premise sales collapse in 2020 because of the pandemic and were forced to increase their off-premise sales to compensate France’s brewers produced some 22 million hl beer in 2021 far less than their northern neighbour Belgium (25 million hl) as per capita consumption of beer is only 33 litres There are more than 2,300 microbreweries (figure for 2020) in operation the highest number in Europe (the United Kingdom excluded) with a combined share of domestic beer output of 8 percent beer sales

Alsatian brewery in November 2022 many observers pretended the decision came out of the blue Heineken had already let go of 80 employees in 2021 which suggests the writing had been on the wall for quite some time Heineken said that the process of closing the brewery could drag on for up to three years as Heineken will first need to agree on a social plan (“Accord de Méthode”) with its employees Employees are fighting for their livelihoods Talks between Heineken and employee representatives began in December As if to underline that they will not be had over a barrel employees began picketing the brewery after the New Year thus preventing beer production from being resumed after the year-end downtime It is highly likely that Heineken will come to an agreement with its employees before it has fulfilled its other obligation – finding a buyer for its brewery with a capacity of some 1.5 million hl beer In a process supervised by the state (that is the local prefecture) Heineken will initially approach potential buyers from the brewing industry and The prefecture may also decide to chip in some money if it can thus win over a buyer for the brewery and its 11 ha of real estate Schiltigheim’s beer festival hangs in the balance Many observers wonder what will become of Schiltigheim’s annual beer festival The statutes of the hugely popular festival (30,000 visitors on a weekend) say that only local breweries can take part established by the late Michel Debus on the grounds of the former Adelshoffen brewery will be the last remaining brewery in Schiltigheim and probably incapable of organising such an event Observers also wonder what Heineken plans to do about the Fischer brand following the purchase (1996) and closure (2009) of the Fischer brewery To continue sporting the seal of “brewed in Alsace” Heineken may have to find a local contract brewer Heineken could dispense with the seal altogether and brew the estimated 60,000 hl of Fischer’s low margin beers at its other breweries in France The risk of seeing the Fischer’s sales volume decline in the local market is probably manageable considering that Heineken leads the French beer market in terms of value ahead of Carlsberg’s brewery Kronenbourg (7 million hl in annual beer production) the back label of a Fischer beer bottle claims (translated): “We brew our Fischer beer in Alsace and this will only change when the storks grow teeth.” This means never If no beer industry buyer for the Heineken brewery can be found the contribution of Alsace to France’s beer production (20 million hl in total) will drop to below 50 percent with two breweries – Kronenbourg and the Brasserie Saverne – providing the bulk of it There are currently some 100 craft breweries in Alsace out of perhaps 2,500 craft breweries across France Once Heineken ceases production and exits Schiltigheim the town to the north of Strasbourg could sport yet another brewery ruin when breweries in Alsace churned out more than 70 percent of France’s beer output (roughly 10 million hl then) and Schiltigheim was its beer capital - are long gone the number of breweries in Alsace dropped to four I was struck by the discrepancy between Schiltigheim’s past and present the town was designed as an industrial hub at a fair distance from Strasbourg Most of its major breweries were lined up along Schiltigheim’s major thoroughfare you first see the Fischer brewery (formerly 1.8 million hl or rather its bulky malthouse guarding the entrance to the town for which no alternative use has been found yet Most of the brewery’s buildings have been knocked down since 2009 and replaced by blocks of flats there are the listed remains of the Charles Kleinknecht brewery which eventually became part of the Perle brewery whose only trace is a side street called Rue Perle Its grounds have been redeveloped twice since the 1970s The Perle brewery sat back-to-back with the Schutzenberger brewery (once 800,000 hl) and whose site has since been bought by a property developer from Strasbourg Most of the buildings appear empty and unused the large Brasserie de L’Espérance Heineken looms large at the Route de Bischwiller crossing with Rue St Charles At its peak the Brasserie de L’Espérance produced more than 2 million hl beer annually there is the swish brewpub by the name of Storig Michel Debus (he died in October 2022 aged 95) and incorporating some of the remains of the former Adelshoffen brewery Adelshoffen used to be a 1 million hl plant There is little left of Schiltigheim’s glorious past – except a few academic articles and photographs Older folks may associate brewing heritage with a locality and will bemoan the disappearance of brands and their physical homes punters do drink the label and often care very little where a beer is being produced - for as long as there is a story of origin to tell I was reminded of the German city of Dortmund home of the eponymous beer style Dortmunder Export whose breweries once vied with Munich and Berlin for the title of German beer capital Most of its eight large breweries sat bang in the middle of the city I would harbour the guess that many German beer punters will not know that all the breweries which once made Dortmund famous all that is left of Dortmund’s brewing heritage is the tower of the Dortmunder Union brewery which nowadays serves as the city’s landmark I was pleased to learn that Christian Artzner and a direct descendant of the Artzner family (it used to own the old Perle brewery) is going to open a new Perle brewery in 2023 Mr Artzner founded his Perle brewery in 2009 but having outgrown the current site in the south of Strasbourg 10,000 hl brewery with a taproom and beer garden right next to a famous steak restaurant (named “Restaurant by the Slaughterhouse” as a matter of fact) and the Strasbourg outlet of IKEA The new brewhouse will be installed in March and the venue will be fully open in the spring brewing industry France Europe company news product news My earliest memory of photography is from a school trip to England in the 1980s I was given a disposable camera to shoot souvenir pictures They were horrible: completely underexposed and out of focus For my 18th birthday my father gave me a Canon reflex camera and a booklet about photography for beginners That’s one of the most important books I ever read My first assignment was a sports meeting shot for a local weekly newspaper The editor-in-chief gave me the opportunity to shoot pictures and be paid for it I can't be grateful enough and I will never forget that autumn Sunday morning in a small village by the River Rhine near my hometown in the Alsace region of France The assignment that left the biggest mark on me was in July 2001 Just a few hundreds metres from home a violent storm brought a tree crashing down onto an open-air concert killing 13 and injuring more than 100 spectators A colleague and I went to the scene just minutes after the accident in heavy rain The stories that excite me most are those that require planning Words by Julia Webster Ayuso It’s a freezing January afternoon and snow is beginning to cover the path leading into the West cemetery in Schiltigheim in a new 5,000 square meter plot of land known as a “sanctuary forest,” commemorative slabs sit at the foot of a newly planted tree Schiltigheim is one of the first French cities to offer this type of resting place: instead of a tombstone a loved one’s ashes can be placed in an urn and buried at the foot of an oak Envisioning the future requires a bit of imagination, but the idea is that, once the forest’s 55 young trees have developed lush canopies, this part of the cemetery will serve as a garden for people to meditate, pray or simply take a stroll to remember their loved ones. “Not only is it a more peaceful place to rest,” says Denise Heilbronn, founder of the association of Au-delà des Racines “People rest knowing that their memory continues to have a positive impact on the living and it’s important to know that even after death we can continue to act for future generations.” Natural burials are by no means a new phenomenon—cultures the world over have long practiced green burials that honor and respect the Earth But “sanctuary forests” or “cinerary forests,” in particular have in recent years become increasingly common in countries like Germany which has developed hundreds since the concept was first introduced in the early 2000s they usually take the form of existing forests where urns are buried while the forest itself is preserved the concept has crept over the border into France where different cities and villages have also started experimenting with a more sustainable end to life and a growing demand for more environmentally-friendly practices—sanctuary forests are emerging as an attractive alternative to traditional The first municipality to successfully roll out this kind of service in France is Muttersholz, a town of 2,200 inhabitants 40 kilometers south of Schiltigheim and also close to the German border. Patrick Barbier, the mayor of the town, which was named France’s 2017 “capital of biodiversity,” first found out about sanctuary forests in 2018 while reading The Hidden Life of Trees the bestselling book by German forester Peter Wohlleben It was around that same time——a time marked by climate movements like Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion—that Heilbronn reached out to Barbier to propose the idea “A whole series of factors came together which made us think that now was the right time to implement the concept,” says Heilbronn a German town less than an hour’s drive away with a similar initiative Barbier and his team selected the area of forest in Muttersholtz where almost 500 urns can now be buried at the foot of 42 oaks and beeches The bureaucratic process was long given that it was the first cemetery of its kind in the country But when it finally opened in March last year “We get lots of requests from outside the village Sometimes even from people who live very far away on the other side of the country,” says Barbier Anyone can reserve a space on the condition that they first pay a visit to the forest to make sure it’s right for them Non-residents must pay an extra €200 (around $220) on top of the 30-year leases which cost between €600 ($650) and €1,000 ($1,085) depending on the size of the tree—fees that help cover the costs of running and maintaining the forest And the urns must be made out of ceramic or stone for a minimal environmental impact but that also allows them to be recovered in the future “Traditional cemeteries no longer suit many people,” says Barbier “They are the continuation after death of our society of overconsumption You have tombs that are covered in plastic flowers you have marble and granite that comes from other continents—I don’t want to force my children to go to places like that,” he adds but I think it’s shared by more and more people.” His sentiment is shared by a growing number of towns Just last month Nancy became the the latest French city to open its own 6,000 forest space where ashes are buried free of charge in biodegradable urns and instead prefer to have a precise location that can provide comfort to loved ones as they grieve A sanctuary forest is designed for this precise purpose: what better symbol of life than a tree “The whole point of this idea is simplicity: it’s about returning to nature The matter we are made out of is returned to the ground.” “The whole point of this idea is simplicity: it’s about returning to nature,” says Barbier “The matter we are made out of is returned to the ground.” planting trees in an existing cemetery made the legal process of setting up the sanctuary forest much easier Schiltigheim’s deputy mayor in charge of equality it was the egalitarian aspect of this concept—as well as the environmental aspect—that caught his attention Sanctuary forests will not replace traditional cemeteries but “since we have 28 nationalities in our city I think it’s important to propose different solutions for everyone.”  Cinerary forests are also space-efficient compared to other types of burial grounds—an especially important consideration in France, a country with a rapidly aging population “It’s a quick and essential solution [to] the saturation of cemeteries,” says Heilbronn who is already in conversation with local authorities in major cities like Bordeaux and Grenoble about the possibility of growing sanctuary forests in both locations Schiltigheim’s Jenaste says he has even been contacted by representatives in Paris where a shortage of space means only the wealthiest people can afford to be buried in the city’s cemeteries Perhaps the biggest argument for sanctuary forests is preservation Whether it’s protecting existing trees or planting new ones sanctuary forests require that the vegetation in a piece of land be left intact The trees planted in Schiltigheim are local species that were chosen for their ability to boost biodiversity and survive the region’s drought and flooding and the site’s maintenance will be limited to what is “strictly necessary” so that it can “develop its own ecosystem over the years.” “The word ‘sanctuary forest’ has a double meaning,” says Barbier “It’s a sanctuary for the people whose ashes are buried here but it’s also a forest that is left almost untouched: the wood production is stopped the trees are left to grow old.” Such is the story of Muttersholtz forest which was exploited for its wood over decades—until it became a funerary site “We have several large oak trees that would have been cut down soon but that won’t happen anymore,” Barbier adds “They will be left to fall to their beautiful death.” receive a complimentary subscription to Atmos Magazine Atmos is a nonprofit media

in this beer event since 1972 We don't have the same objectives or the same values our paths diverge,” the mayor told French media on 4 April “I do not accept that a multinational firm that has killed several Schilikois beers is honoured at the festival.” The problem remains: who will supply the beer instead Only local breweries are admitted to serve the more than 10,000 visitors 12,641 litres were

on the motorway from the north the first landmark you see is the big IKEA store followed by the new Perle brewery and the cathedral tower beckoning in the distance After 18 months of construction and installation works the Perle brewery opened its doors in July What locals fail to mention is that another landmark used to grace Strasbourg’s skyline for decades: the Heineken brewery across the motorway from Perle in Schiltigheim Heineken announced in November 2022 that it will close the brewery with the loss of some 200 jobs Although no industry buyer has been found yet and the brewery continues to operate most locals seem to have eradicated the Heineken plant from their mind’s eye already The new Perle brewery is the brainchild of Christian Artzner a globetrotting brewer who turned craft brewer when he founded his first Perle brewery in the south of Strasbourg some 15 years ago The Perle beer brand still resonates with locals Mr Artzner’s great-great-grandfather built the first Perle brewery in the Schiltigheim brewery district of Strasbourg in the 19th century where it sat next to other iconic Alsatian breweries including Fischer The first Perle was discontinued in the 1970s Schutzenberger and Fischer until the Heineken brewery was the only major brewery left will be the last to carry Schiltigheim’s brewing heritage forward From across the motorway in the district of Cronenbourg Mr Artzner is optimistic that he can widen his beers’ appeal His new brewhouse (Braukon) can produce 40,000 hl beer per year Operating a taproom – or what locally is called a “Bierstube” - should also help him spread his story a lot of deep thinking (and money) has gone into designing the brewery along environmentally-friendly lines The brewery is clad in wood and insulated with straw A passive geothermal system was installed to provide cooling and store the packaged beer in a naturally tempered room Environmental concerns also entered into the planning of the beer garden Perle’s beer garden will not be shaded by the traditional chestnut trees but by paulownia which grow quickly and are good at surviving drought and hosepipe bans Although the taproom and the beer garden have pulled crowds since Perle’s soft opening in July Mr Artzner is still experimenting with how to organise beer sales at the bar as there is usually a food truck parked outside the French are fussy if not to say super-critical customers they do not like queuing or buying their beer at the bar Mr Artzner hopes that making his punters order their beer via their smart phones could offer a way-out Getting his pricing right has required more soul-searching than sound financial calculations Mr Artzner is selling his beers slightly below average on-premise prices – because he is offering no service - although they should probably be priced higher A glass (500 ml) of his pilsner beer costs EUR 6.00 (USD 6.50) his specialty craft beers EUR 7.00 or more Mr Artzner has not yet set a date for Perle’s grand opening so that he can still tinker with taproom issues but he is planning to hold an event in the autumn Few would have dared to invest millions of euros into a brewery venture at a time of heightened competition in the French beer market the best beers to be had in France came from Alsace Those were the days when the American writer Ernest Hemingway and tout le monde in Paris flocked to the Brasserie Lipp on Boulevard Saint-Germain Hemmingway would drink copious amounts of Alsatian beer in one litre glasses called “un distingué” and eat potato salad you will find some 2,500 craft breweries scattered all over the country as they compete with the Big Brewers Kronenbourg/Carlsberg The French are known for holding French culture the Heineken brand was the best-selling beer in 2022 The Kronenbourg brand (Carlsberg) ranked fifth It is doubtful that Kronenbourg is a brand which consumers will immediately associate with Alsace does not even feature among the 10 best-selling beers in hypermarkets This is probably one of the reasons why Heineken decided the Schiltigheim brewery was surplus to its requirements and production could be shifted to its big breweries in Lille Rest assured that Heineken will be watching Perle’s progress closely Once the Schiltigheim brewery is shuttered the Fischer brand may need a new physical home Heineken has not said anything to this effect yet But when Heineken announced it would close its Brand brewery in Wijlre in the Netherlands last year it stressed that it would be replaced by a Brand microbrewery Maybe Perle will provide the blueprint for the new Fischer microbrewery breweries France company news brands Text description provided by the architects. The new Route de Hausbergen footbridge was opened on 26 September 2015 after almost five years of planning and construction. There is now a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists connecting the eastern and western parts of the town of Schiltigheim. Eight hundred cyclists can now cross the Strasbourg-Paris motorway and the TGV railway lines without fear. © Thomas MayerThe moving of the new pedestrian bridge away from the existing old large truss bridge creates a fascinating space between the two bridges, in so doing uniting them to form an "ensemble". © Thomas MayerThe ascending and descending deck, with its curved shape, triggers a permanent change in perspective for the user. Users of the bridge cross all its dimensions and can physically experience the great depth of the girders. © Thomas MayerThe woven stainless steel facade of the bridge both satisfies the requirements for the necessary safeguard against falling and provides protection against the overhead lines of the railway. The upper and lower flanges of the stainless steel mesh are mounted onto special retaining devices. © Thomas MayerEach pair of pillars on the truss bridge and the approach bridges is designed as uniform, rectangular concrete frames. The overall effect is intended to be a "smooth shape". The impression of an architectural sculpture is amplified. The desired shape of the detailed design aims, in addition, to provide few areas which attract dirt and corrosion. the ascending and descending deck inside the two horizontally truss girders and the striking design of the façade represent an architectural symbol of future-oriented urban development The high-quality design of a traffic infrastructure simultaneously enhances its direct spatial environment and represents a positive change to the adjoining urban spaces The groups for blind football at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will be drawn on Saturday (25 May) as teams prepare to play for glory at the 2024 IBSA Blind Football World Grand Prix in Schiltigheim Brazil, Argentina, Morocco, France, China, Japan, Colombia and Turkiye will be drawn in two groups of four for the Paralympics as part of the opening ceremony for the World Grand Prix.
