history
Herrenbrauhaus
The origin of the Lederer Bräu is traced back to the “Herrenbrauhaus” at the Almosmühle, which the city council appointed by the patricians had built in 1471 in Waizenstrasse - today Karl-Grillenberger- Strasse 1. The building burned down as early as 1481. After the reconstruction it burned down for the second time in 1506, whereupon the council stopped brewing beer until 1643 (see: Tucher Bräu ).
It is unclear when the building was rebuilt, but in 1581 the council sold the brewery to the Nuremberg brewer Conrad Wurm, who probably continued or resumed the brewery.
Lederer Bräu
Christian Lederer bought the brewery in 1814 and thus founded the family business. The trained brewer from Thalmässing was the host of the “Goldenes Lamm” inn in Wöhrd. Through his marriage to the half-sister of the hop trader, founder of the Städtische Sparkasse and main initiator of the Ludwigseisenbahn , Johannes Scharrer , he had good contacts and insight into the trade. The entrepreneurial risk posed by the direct vicinity of the Royal Brewery and the extremely weakened economy by the long Napoleonic wars did not seem to deter him. However, it can be assumed that it was precisely these circumstances that kept the purchase price correspondingly low.
On July 11, 1836, Christian Lederer wrote railway history. The first rail freight in Germany was transported by the legendary eagle of the Bavarian Ludwigsbahn, in the form of two kegs of Lederer beer, at a price of six cruisers each from Nuremberg to Fürth. By today's standards it was a successful “ Promotion Tour ”, both for Lederer and for the railway.
Lederer was the first Nuremberg brewer to introduce the steam engine in 1850/51, after having found out about the state of beer production there during his trips to England in 1833 and 1841. Around 1881, a brewery that had been in existence since 1575 at Bärenschanzstrasse 48 was taken over. The brewery was completely relocated to the new building erected there in 1890.
Brewery Society vorm. Gebr. Lederer AG
With the transformation into the "Bierbrauerei-Gesellschaft vorm. Gebr. Lederer AG “In 1890 the company introduced its new trademark. The symbol designed by Friedrich Wanderer in the Gasthaus Krokodil shows the crocodile crawling around a red and yellow wooden jug .
Lederer Bräu AG
Over the years, Lederer took over a number of smaller breweries such as the Güttinger brewery in Lauf (1921), the Finkler & Lehner breweries in Gunzenhausen (1922), the Schübel brewery in Rückersdorf (1924), the Gloßner brewery in Wengen (1927) and traded 1928 to "Lederer Bräu AG". In the next few years, the Dietrich Müller brewery in Hersbruck was taken over (1929).
Lederer in Patrizier Bräu AG
In 1972 Lederer Bräu AG was taken over by the Schickedanz Group ( Quelle ) and merged with six other traditional breweries to form Patrizier Bräu AG , named after a light full beer from Lederer-Bräu. It was not until 1980, when the trend towards traditional breweries emerged, that the group management revived the brand, and Lederer beer was brewed again.
Lederer Bräu GmbH
The Munich brewing entrepreneur Hans Inselkammer acquired the majority of the shares in Patrizier Bräu AG in 1994, merged with Tucher Bräu AG (formerly in the März Group) and converted the company back into a so-called "private brewery" by separating the operational beer business from the stock corporation . around.
The beers (exclusively Pils) have since been produced in Fürth, Schwabacher Strasse (formerly Humbser Brewery), while the “Lederer Culture Brewery” was set up on the Sielstrasse site after 1994 in the remains of the old brewery building. This catering business closed in April 2019, the remaining former Lederer buildings are to give way to residential development. The "Lederer" brand has been sold since 1998 from a new logistics center on the Main-Danube Canal in Fürth-Süd, which was expanded into a brewing facility for all beer products from Tucher Bräu AG by 2008.
Jannik Inselkammer was the managing director from 1997 to 2003 .
Lederer Bräu GmbH at Oetker
With retroactive effect from January 1, 2003, Jannik Inselkammer sold Tucher Bräu and the associated Lederer Bräu GmbH to the beverage group Brau und Brunnen, contrary to other pronouncements . Brau und Brunnen and with it the Lederer Bräu was founded in 2004 by Dr. Oetker , while the Tucher Bräu property remained in the possession of the Inselkammer family.
