history

The history of the Hofbrauhaus Freising goes back to the 12th century. Under the Freising Prince-Bishop Albert I von Harthausen , a brewery was first mentioned in 1160 on the Domberg . In 1620, Prince Bishop Veit Adam von Gepeckh had a new brewery built, which was located in the Philipps Castle . The authorization for the further use of the prefix Hof in the company name is derived from these princely connections to this day .

In the course of secularization and the dissolution of the Freising Monastery in 1803, the Hofbrauhaus went to the Kingdom of Bavaria and was acquired in 1812 by the widowed Bavarian Electress Maria Leopoldine . She bequeathed it to her son, Count Aloys von Arco-Stepperg . After the Count's death in 1891, his married daughter, Countess Sophie von Moy de Sons , got the brewery, which soon became known as the Countess von Moy'sches Hofbrauhaus .

1911–1912, a new building on Mainburger Strasse replaced the old brewery on Domberg. A brewery system was built according to the technical concept of the brewing scientist and professor at the Weihenstephan Theodor Ganzenmüller Academy , which was technically state-of-the-art at the time. The buildings of the Gräflich von Moy'schen Hofbrauhaus were designed by the Munich architectural office Gebrüder Rank in a style influenced by Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau , the entire complex consists of a richly structured central building and several ancillary buildings.

Since December 1998 the Hofbrauhaus has been owned by the Bavarian Graf zu Toerring-Jettenbach Brewery . (See also the noble family of those von Toerring )
