| 1500 | most of the cellar dug to store beer. |
The Cellars of Schwandorf are located inside a layer of sandstone of the Middle
Jurassic, which is called Brown Jurassic in southern Germany, because of its
typical brownish colour.
This layer may be found all along the river Naab at the slopes of the Holzberg
mountain.
There are about 100 different cellars, on a length of about one kilometre.
They were used for various purposes during the centuries.
Most of them were built arout 1500 for the use as beer cellars.
At this time a lot of breweries existed at Schwandorf.
