Description

The brewery was founded by the journeyman brewer and cooper from Laub in Lower Franconia. In 1888 Jacob Stauder relocated the brewery to Altenessen and had it entered under his name in the Royal Prussian Company Register. During the First World War, in the winter of 1916/1917, Caspar Stauder inherited the business, who also managed it through the Great Depression. This was followed by his son Hans-Jacob Stauder († 1986), who brought the brewery through the turmoil of the Second World War. For the centenary in 1967 he again introduced his sons Claus and Rolf Stauder into the business. Rolf Stauder died in an accident in his house on October 23, 2004, two months before the business was handed over to his successors, Axel and Thomas Stauder.
