history

In 1862, Carl Lucius Fuchs founded the Carl Lucius Municipal Brewery , next to the Mühlgrabenbrücke, behind the Hillig Inn ( 50 ° 50 ′ 55.1 ″  N , 13 ° 56 ′ 28.1 ″  E ). In 1870 this brewery was taken over by Eduard Holzhausen and then in 1878 by Fritz Vielhäuser. In the beginning, the beer was mainly served in the vicinity, as the large and larger breweries from the Dresden area dominated the market, especially the joint stock breweries, as they had the lowest production costs.

In 1886 Friedrich Adolf Hänsel took over the brewery, then Richard J. Legler in 1896 and in 1902 it changed hands again. From 1908, Traugott Leberecht Schütze continued to run it as Schütze-Bräu , Bad Gottleuba Brewery . Schütze carried out extensive renovations and modernizations of the brewery. It was completely destroyed during the floods in 1927 . In the same year, the facility at the barns was rebuilt so that it was protected against flooding ( 50 ° 51 ′ 8.3 ″  N , 13 ° 56 ′ 40.2 ″  E ). Production resumed at the end of 1927. In 1935 Rudolf Schütze took over the brewery. In 1939, the production included bottom and top-fermented beers, plain beer, wheat malt beer, malt for personal use and ice. Alfred Gölfert, Willy, Rudolf and Frieda Schütze acted as registered company owners. They ran the brewhouse and the malt house. The fleet consisted of two trucks.

Rudolf Sagittarius led the brewery until 1972 on, then it was in the second big wave of expropriations of the GDR nationalized . From then on, it acted as a branch in Bad Gottleuba, part of the VEB Dresdner Breweries . Brewing was stopped in 1972. From then on, the branch office took over the bottling and distribution of beers for the VEB Dresden breweries. In 1978 the bottling plant was finally shut down. Until 1981 the brewery only served as a delivery warehouse in Bad Gottleuba in VEB Beverage Supply Pirna, after which it was finally closed.

In addition to the actual in-house production, the brewery also took on the distribution of beers and lemonades from other suppliers. The Schütze brewery was one of the biggest sales defeats for the Radeberger Aktienbrauerei.
