A highlight of this year's VLB Summer Party on 7 July 2023 was the opening of the new roof terrace. This was completed with the support of the Bitburger Brewery Group.
In bright summer weather, more than 500 guests celebrated at the VLB Summer Party last Friday. Among them was Jan Niewodniczanski, Managing Director Technology and Environment of the Bitburger Brewery Group. He did not want to miss the opportunity to personally attend the opening of the new Bitburger roof terrace, which was announced as part of this event.
On behalf of the Bitburger family of shareholders, who had made the project possible with a donation, he welcomed the numerous guests to the location: "Bitburger Brewery and VLB look back on a long shared past and still work closely together today. Now, in addition to the Axel Simon Library, we have been able to set another impressive marker here at the VLB with the Bitburger Roof Terrace," he said, expressing his enthusiasm for the new ambience on the 4th floor of the new VLB building.
VLB Managing Director Dr. Josef Fontaine thanked the Bitburger Brewery Group for its support: "The roof terrace was dropped from the funding project at the time. We are therefore very pleased that we have now been able to complete it with your support. With the name and the new Bitburger equipment, it will continue to be a striking sign of the friendship between our companies."
The roof terrace project goes back to a visit to Berlin by the Simon family of shareholders, which also took the group to VLB in October 2019.
