Carl Heinrich Fiedler from Oberwiesenthal took over the hereditary court and the brewery in 1855. At the end of the 19th century, Emil Richard Fiedler took over the brewery, introduced bottled beer production and renamed it the Emil Fiedler Brewery . In 1920 Louis Emil Fiedler took over the brewery and continued to run it as the Fiedler Brewery .

In 1954, after numerous modernization measures, the brewery , which was closed during the Second World War , was reopened by the son of Emil Louis Fiedler, Karl Fiedler. In 1966 the annual beer output reached 2781 hectoliters. With the construction of the pumped storage power plant in Markersbach, production was increased to 7000 hectoliters. Until 1985, besides beer, non-alcoholic beverages were also produced (in 1977, for example, around 1200 hectoliters). Annual production rose to 9500 hectoliters by 1989. At the time of political change in 1989/90 , production fell to 2500 hectoliters due to competitive pressure.
