🔎 Did you know? Bauer’s history began over 230 years ago, when Sebastian Bauer took over a coppersmith’s workshop in Schrobenhausen, Germany.
The turning point came in 1902, when Andreas Bauer drilled an artesian well for the local railway. His son, Karl Bauer, later built Schrobenhausen’s central water supply system — laying the groundwork for Bauer’s future.
