Zagrebačka pivovara
Glavni inicijatori za gradnju Zagrebačke pivovare bili su grof Gustav Pongratz i barun Petar Dragutin Turković. Inicijativa je nastala zato što mali pivari
u Zagrebu nisu uspijevali proizvesti dovoljne količine piva za potrebe brzo rastućeg grada.
Vrt Zagrbačke pivovare je bio rasvijetljen električnim svjetlom 15 godina prije nego što je Zagreb uopće dobio električnu rasvjetu.
The main initiators for the construction of Zagrebačka pivovara were Count Gustav Pongratz and Baron Petar Dragutin Turković. The initiative came about due to the fact that small brewers in Zagreb failed to produce enough beer for the needs of a rapidly growing city. The garden of Zagrebačka pivovara was illuminated with electric lights 15 years before the city of Zagreb got electricity.
