Eduard Meyer was born before the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hanover . As a businessman, he and his brother-in-law August Brande founded the Brande & Meyer brewery in Linden near Hanover in 1852 , which was converted into a stock corporation in 1871, the year the empire was founded, and then initially known as the Lindener Aktien Brauerei. Brande & Meyer operated.
