Cord Broyhan (* in Gronau ; † 1570 in Hanover ) was a beer brewer . He invented in 1526 that bears his name Broyhan - beer , which became a major export of Hanover.

Life

As a young man, Breihan / Broyhan went to Hamburg to work as a servant for a master brewer . Brewing beer was a profitable trade in its day, adding to the wealth of the cities. Back then, beer was considered liquid bread , as it was the only storable drink alongside wine and an important food due to its many nutrients . After Cord Broyhan left Hamburg in 1524 and came to Hanover, he acquired Hanover citizenship and a house on Mühlenstrasse. He used his knowledge of beer brewing and initially worked for the brewer Hans vom Sode (also: von Sode) in Leinstrasse.

In 1526 Broyhan modified the dark brown beer Hamburger Art and invented a new, light brown beer ("Broyhan)" on May 31: In addition to water, hops and yeast, he used only a third of wheat malt, but two thirds of barley malt. This light brown, top-fermented beer became an export hit for the city, which gave it an economic boom and made it a first-rate beer city.

Broyhan, evidently prosperous, bought after the house in Mühlenstrasse the Broyhanhaus named after him in Kramerstrasse, near the center of the then city at the market church . The house is the second oldest preserved half-timbered building in Hanover. While the first building was built around 1400, the Broyhan House dates from 1576.

The quality mark of this beer, the "Broyhan-Taler", first minted in 1546, became the trademark of the later brewers' guild , in which those authorized to brew had come together. It is still the trademark of the Gilde Brewery, which was founded in 1546 .

According to tradition from the manuscripts in the Hanover City Archives , a double distich was affixed to the Piepenborn fountain in Hanover , which was built in 1551, glorifying the Broyhan beer invented by Cord Broyhan .
