About this audio guide
This guide to Brewery Füchschen on Ratinger Strasse in Düsseldorf begins in nineteen forty-three, with the König family's brewers underground while the war passed overhead. It follows the family who bought the house in nineteen oh eight through two wars, a reopening in nineteen fifty, and the artists who came to drink, Joseph Beuys among them. You'll also meet a master brewer and butcher who ran rowdy nights from a most unlikely cashier's booth.
