The brewery was founded in 1603 in Kirchremda. It changed its name to Dampfbrauerei Kirchremda Ernst Häußer in 1872. It was expropriated in 1972 and got the name VEB Brauerei Remda. Since 1985 it belonged to the VEB Getränkekombinat Gera and was closed down later that year. It’s uncommon for industry getting closed down during GDR times, which only leads to the conclusion that the brewery was extremely run down and obsolete. The whole structure collapsed 3 years after our visit.
