In 1972 the brewery was nationalized in the GDR. Between 1972 and 1990 she belonged to the VEB Beverage Combine Rennsteig Meiningen and produced beer and non-alcoholic beverages. Beer production was stopped in 1980 due to a faulty brewing pan that could not be purchased in the GDR. Until 1990, beer was bottled for the Rennsteig beverage combine, Schmiedefeld division .
On June 1, 1990, the brewery was re-privatized from the Treuhand to the Konrad Jäcklein family and produced non-alcoholic beverages until June 1991. After they were stopped, the Jäcklein brewery could only survive through a beverage wholesaler.
