| | | | | | Extra info | In 1894, the brothers Steingröver of Carl Göters bought the two Cologne-based breweries Johann Joseph Creischer and Cornelius Schieffer and a 14,000 square meter site on the Tacitus and Goltsteinstraße. They called the merger "Hirsch Brewery Göter & Steingrover, Cologne-Bayenthal, Alteburger Strasse 242, Kontor Tacitusstraße 12". In 1900, the Hirsch Brewery was converted into a public limited company.
In the following years, the brewery was enlarged by acquiring some smaller breweries in and around Cologne. In the Hirsch Brewery mainly "Hirsch Gold Export" and "Hirsch-Edel-Pils" were produced. During the Second World War, the brewery was destroyed, the removal of the damage continued until 1956.
From this point on Dom Kölsch was predominantly produced. From the mid-1960s, capacities were increased. In 1972, after the merger with Hitdorfer Brauerei AG, the Dom-Brewery was acquired by Stern-Brewery Carl-Funke AG, Essen. Since 1974, only Dom Kölsch has been brewed in the cathedral brewery. Since 1987, the Dom-Brewery has been run as a legally independent company within the Stern Group. In 1989, the brewery Jos. Degraa Erben KG, Aachen, in 1994 the private brewery Robert Metzmacher GmbH & Co. KG, Frechen (Rats Kölsch) and in 1998 the Giesler brewery GmbH & Co. in Brühl. In 1998 the Stern Brewery Carl Funke AG was renamed Dom-Brauerei AG. In 2001, the production site on Tacitusstrasse was sold and a production facility, event space and a beer garden were taken over by the Küppers brewery. A brewery museum was housed in these premises.
Due to economic difficulties, beer production ceased at the end of 2005. From January 2006, the beers were produced in the Lohn-Bräu by the Erzquell brewery Bielstein. The site in Alteburger Straße was sold again in 2006 and has since been leveled. Giesler's Gaststättenbetriebs GmbH was dissolved in 2008. Furthermore, in the main insolvency proceedings, all shares in free float were bought up with the help of a squeeze-out and Dom-Brauerei AG was converted into a limited liability company. |
