1945

During the Second World War, KESSLER Sekt was mainly produced for the military. By the end of the war, those employed in the company were mostly women, as their male colleagues had been drafted into military service. On April 22, the roof of Kessler House was struck by grenades, but fortunately no fire broke out. Without the intervention of the U.S. Army Captain Hesse, the heavy looting that took place at the end of the war would have spelt the ruin for KESSLER.
