With the site of the old Forest Brewery (Waldbrauerei) in Börnsen, a suitable new location with tradition was finally found. As early as 1891, the forest property on the former Dorfstraße and the old Hamburger Postweg was sold to the Waldbrauerei Bergedorf AG. The beer from Börnsen, brewed with the princely spring water, was even enjoyed in South Africa. In 1920, however, the brewing rights were sold to the Hamburg Holsten Brewery and production in Börnsen was discontinued. A year later, the Hamburg paint factory Holzapfel bought the area, which Hensel took over and modernized at the turn of the millennium.
