Fire safety on tap

Since 1887, the family-owned Gebr. Maisel brewery in Bayreuth has been crafting outstanding beers. At the Liebesbier Restaurant, guests enjoy local brews and international specialties. And thanks to smart fire protection, they can focus on savoring the experience.

Brewing tradition meets modernity

Maisel is known for its wheat beer classic, Maisel’s Weisse, and for modern specialties from Maisel & Friends. Both are served in a unique setting: the Liebesbier Restaurant offers over 80 bottled beers and 21 on tap, paired with dishes made from regional ingredients. Guests who stay overnight enjoy a blend of historic charm and modern architecture – featuring artwork by more than 60 international street artists across 67 uniquely styled rooms. Yet, with an infrastructure with 130 years of history, fire safety concerns arise.

Adapted to special needs

A place built for indulgence needs exquisite protection. When it came to modernizing the site, fire safety was at the top of the agenda. The concept had to meet complex demands: historic buildings, different uses, and challenging environmental conditions. Open flames, alcohol, and hot surfaces in the restaurant and show kitchen created serious fire and explosion hazards. The solution had to protect guests, staff, and valuable equipment without disrupting the experience.

To ensure that people can be led quickly out of a possible dangerous situation, comprehensive detection and alerting in the various buildings is essential. In the hotel, restaurant, show kitchen, coffee factory, brewing workshop and the event rooms, the Sinteso fire alarm systemfor monitoring and alerting. Automatic and non-automatic detectors and signal transmitters are used depending on the environment and networked in the various buildings.

The fire safety concept keeps every part of the site protected – from brewery and show kitchen to hotel and event space. The Sinteso system monitors, detects, alerts, and guides people to safety when needed. All detectors are tailored to their environment and smartly connected across buildings. And thanks to colored devices that match the interiors, safety blends in while everything else stands out – from bold design to freshly poured beer.

Safe ambience for leisure hours
