Einsiedler Brauhaus

Einsiedler Brauhaus is a midsize German private brewery based in Einsiedel, a small locality at the foot of the Ore Mountains in the Free State of Saxony, now part of the city of Chemnitz. It was founded on 29 August 1885 by the machinery industrialist Emil Schwalbe, who purchased several local farms on the outskirts of Einsiedel to secure excellent well water and built his brewhouse on that same site. The original brewhouse had a capacity of 300 hectoliters and, with its mash tun, mash pan, lauter tun and wort kettle, could produce up to 1,200 hectoliters daily. Production peaked at around 70,000 hectoliters per annum before World War I. The brewhouse was heavily damaged at the end of World War II but was rebuilt in its original style, and the brewery still uses that same brewhouse today. The brewery's 20th-century history was eventful. It became a joint-stock company in 1903, was acquired in 1920 by Deutsche Brau- & Aktiengesellschaft Berlin and renamed Einsiedler Brauhaus AG, and in 1925 became a subsidiary of Radeberger. In 1937 the Winterling family restored its independence. After World War II the company was placed under sequestration; it was half-nationalized in 1961 and fully nationalized in 1972, becoming part of the state-owned VEB Vereinigte Brauereien Karl-Marx-Stadt (later VEB Braustolz). In 1990, following German reunification, it was re-established as a GmbH. Today Einsiedler Brauhaus operates as a private limited company (GmbH) and markets itself as a private brewery with more than 140 years of brewing culture. Its product range includes traditional German beer styles such as Landbier, Helles, Zwickelbier, Schwarzbier, Weißbier, Pilsener, Böhmisch, Bock, Doppelbock, Porter and seasonal bock variants, alongside mixed beer drinks, non-alcoholic drinks and Fassbrause. Its Pilsener is marketed with the slogan "Das Pils der Chemnitzer." The brewery also supports numerous local associations and clubs, including sports, music and volunteer fire service organizations, and hosts events and sponsoring activities under the "Experience Einsiedler" banner.

Einsiedler Brauhaus was founded on 29 August 1885 by Emil Schwalbe, a machinery industrialist, in Einsiedel near Chemnitz. Schwalbe purchased several local farms on the outskirts of Einsiedel that provided excellent well water and built his brewery on that same location. The newly built brewhouse, with a capacity of 300 hectoliters and comprising a mash tun, mash pan, lauter tun and wort kettle, could produce 1,200 hectoliters daily. Before World War I, production peaked at around 70,000 hectoliters per annum. In the early days, beer was traditionally delivered in kegs to pubs, restaurants and retailers, who filled it into flip-top bottles for local redistribution. In 1903 the brewery became a joint-stock company. In 1920 it was acquired by Deutsche Brau- & Aktiengesellschaft Berlin and renamed Einsiedler Brauhaus AG. In 1925 it became a subsidiary of Radeberger. In 1937 the Winterling family restored its independence. During World War II the brewhouse was considerably destroyed at the end of the war but was rebuilt in the original style; the brewery still brews in that same brewhouse today. After World War II the company was placed under sequestration. In 1961 it was half-nationalized and in 1972 fully nationalized, becoming part of the state-owned VEB Vereinigte Brauereien Karl-Marx-Stadt (later VEB Braustolz). In 1990, following German reunification, Einsiedler Brauhaus became a GmbH (private limited company). In the decades since, the brewery has continued to operate as a midsize private brewery in Saxony, marketing itself as a private brewery with over 140 years of brewing culture. It produces a wide range of beer styles and non-alcoholic drinks, and supports numerous local associations and clubs, including 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, Boxclub Chemnitz 94, Ring- u. Stemmklub Jugendkraft 1898 Gelenau, Viktoria 03 Einsiedel, Einsiedler Ski Verein, Musikverein Meinersdorf and Freiwillige Feuerwehr Einsiedel.
