Sternburg (beer)
The name Sternburg , also colloquially “Sterni”, describes the beer brand from Leipzig belonging to the Radeberger Group and is often used for their best-selling product “Sternburg Export”. With a market share of 9.5%, Sternburg was the beer brand with the largest sales in eastern Germany in 2006 , with no advertising at all until 2011 .
history
The eponymous brewery was founded in 1822 when the Leipzig merchant Maximillian Speck acquired the Lützschena manor and the manorial brewery. After the now ennobled Speck von Sternburg brought the master brewer from the previously leased St. Veit Abbey to Lützschena on his return from a trip to Bavaria in 1829, brewing and selling beer under the Sternburg brand began there .
After the closure of the Lützschenaer brewery, the Reudnitzer brewery has been running the Sternburg brand since 1992 .
In the same year "Sternburg Export " and "Sternburg Pilsener " were reintroduced in the low-price segment. In 1997 the “Sternburg Schwarzbier ” variety was introduced and “Sternburg Export” received the CMA seal of approval , “Sternburg Pilsener” a year later and “Sternburg Schwarzbier” received the seal of approval in 1999.
The “Sternburg Radler ” variety was introduced in 2002 , “Sternburg Diesel” followed in 2003 and “Sternburg Doppelkaramel” in 2004. In 2005, the “Sternburg Hefeweizen” variety followed.
Since January 1st, 2006 the brand has been part of the Radeberger Gruppe KG. The last new launch in 2008 was the “Sternburg Urtyp”.
