Environmental Group Challenges Expansion Plans for Red Bull Facility in BrandenburgSat 31st Jan, 2026An environmental organization has initiated legal proceedings against the planned expansion of beverage production facilities operated by Red Bull and Rauch in Baruth/Mark, Brandenburg. A central issue raised by the environmental group is the anticipated water consumption. The companies reportedly intend to utilize up to 2.5 million cubic meters of water annually, a figure previously authorized for mineral water production by Urstromquelle. In response, Red Bull and Rauch maintain that their operations will not exceed the water usage levels previously permitted for Urstromquelle. The Federal Ministry for the Environment has indicated that the water usage associated with the expansion will undergo thorough examination by the relevant regional authorities.
