history

Brewer's Guild

As early as 1322, Duke Otto von Braunschweig-Lüneburg granted the full citizens of Hanover the privilege of brewing beer . The comparatively inexpensive drink was still used in the Middle Ages, among other things, for the production of beer soups, especially for the meals of poor families - with the consequences of the alcohol especially for the development of children.

In 1609 the owners of houses in Hanover's old town , "on which the brewing rights lay", were united to form the brewer's guild. This was a legal entity and also had its own coat of arms.

The coat of arms stone

The coat of arms stone, dated 1642 and attributed to the Hanoverian sculptor Hans Nottelmann the Younger , was originally attached above the gate entrance to the brewery guild house in Osterstraße , which the entrepreneur Johann Duve in the middle of the Thirty Years War at the request of the city council of Hanover as the representative office building of the guild built between 1642 and 1644. The inscription was also found there

"THE BRAWER HOUSE
PRO COMMODITATE PATRIAE"

in German, for example, “The brewer's house / For the benefit of our hometown”.

The coat of arms stone was then attached to the office building of the "lager brewery" on Hildesheimer Strasse in 1878 , and almost 100 years later in 1974 in the administration building of the Gilde Brewery.

Instead of a shield jacket, there is baroque tendrils in the same colors behind the shield . In the upper blue field there are nine golden malt grains , golden in the lower red field three barley - ears . The seated on the shield silver piercing helmet wearing one around his neck mountains laid golden cord with a hanging thereon green stone.
