history

Building of the Schlösser brewery, Altestadt 3–13 (before 1909)

For the founding of the Schlösser brewery, it is usually stated that this was done in 1873 by the Schlösser family of bakers . However, the inn brewery Im Gapstock is said to have been leased by Johann Schlösser first . Whether this happened parallel to the verifiable purchase of building no. 11, Altestadt , called Zum neue Engel , in 1873, cannot be clearly proven. There is therefore also the assumption that Johann Schlösser started producing an old beer in the Gapstock as early as 1871 . In any case, building Altestadt No. 11 became the seat of the Schlösser brewery after the purchase .

From 1889 the eldest son Joseph Schlösser took over the brewery until 1930. Under his leadership, the neighboring houses Altestadt No. 13 and then No. 3–9 were bought up to around 1900 for expansion of the brewery. Due to the First World War and inflation , the brewery ceased operations between 1917 and 1922. Due to the occupation of the Ruhr from 1923 as part of the Allied occupation of the Rhineland , operations of the brewery were again interrupted from February 1923 to April 1928.

After brewing operations resumed, the company was converted into a GmbH in 1930 . In the same year, on March 12th, a partnership agreement was signed with Düsseldorfer AG Schwabenbräu .

After the death of Joseph Schlösser on February 7, 1931, AG Schwabenbräu took over the Schlösser brewery completely in 1932 . Under the leadership of Schwabenbräu, the company premises were enlarged again in 1933 with the purchase of Altestadt No. 1 and the brewery was modernized in 1934 with the construction of a new brewhouse .

During the Second World War , the brewery in the Altestadt was not closed until 1943. When the brewery and brewery tavern at Whitsun 1943 were largely destroyed by aerial bombs, the Tivoli AG brewery (formerly Burckhardt & Greiff) in Krefeld, which had belonged to Schwabenbräu since 1917 or 1921, took over the production of Schlösser-Alt.

After the war, the brewery and restaurant were rebuilt in the old town . The inauguration of the pub brewery bar Schlösser with a large citizens 'hall took place on November 18, 1955. The citizens' hall was used extensively by tradition and the Düsseldorf jonges for meetings and events until it was demolished after 1988. The Düsseldorfer Jonges, which were founded in 1932 by some members of the Alde Düsseldorfer , had chosen the Schlösser brewery bar as their regular pub. Until March 1988 there was a special relationship between the Jonges and Schlösser . Among other things, the archive of the Düsseldorf Jonges was housed in a building of the brewery on the Altestadt.

The production of locks Old occurred in 1972 on a site on the Münsterstraße in the local brewery locks . Schlösser Alt has been brewed in Dortmund since the closure of this Düsseldorf brewery in 2002.

However, the ownership structure changed several times after the Second World War in the course of the concentration of German breweries. In 1969 the Schwabenbräu AG and the Dieterich-Hoefel GmbH brewery formed the Düsseldorf brewery . The Dortmund Union brewery joined this merger as a leading partner. In 1970 the Düsseldorf brewery was taken over by the Dortmunder Union / Berliner Schultheiss group of companies. In 1974 an internal reorganization took place for the formerly independent Düsseldorf breweries Dieterich-Hoefel, Schwabenbräu and Schlösser. The activities of these breweries were combined and a new subsidiary was formed under the name Brauerei Schlösser GmbH .

The Dortmunder Union / Berliner Schultheiss group was renamed Brau und Brunnen in 1988 . The brewery castles GmbH is also following the acquisition of Brau und Brunnen by the Oetker Group as a subsidiary within the on 12 February 2004 Radeberger Group continued.
