Brewery Weihenstephan 66321 - brewery Weihenstephan beer lovers know T66320 - they long to appreciate the full-bodied beers of the Bavarian State brewery Weihenstephan. And this has a long tradition. The establishment of a Benedictine monastery in the year 725 by the St. Korbinian with his twelve companions on the growing mountain near Freising was the beginning of the art of brewing in Weihenstephan. Because in the middle ages in most monasteries it was brewed the surmise that in the Weihenstephan monastery also was way. After all, there was a nearby monastery with taxes (tithes) hop garden owners committed. According to the legend, brewed up to 1040 while monks from Weihenstephan beer, but were in competition with the Freisingern. This year's should be however the Abbot Arnold succeeded in the brewery and licensed piled off the Freisingern. The Weihenstephan monastery brewery will occur then. Although we now know that all this rather the fable is one in the area, undisputed, however, is the century-old beer brewing on Weihenstephan. But the monastery over the centuries was repeatedly afflicted by strokes of fate. So, looted and destroyed the Huns the monastery in the year 955. in 1336 he raged itself in the same way the Emperor Ludwig Bayer from as well as later the Sweden and the French during the thirty years war, as well as the Austrians in the war of the Spanish succession. In addition, was the victim of a conflagration between 1085 and 1463 Weihenstephan Abbey four times. This raged three plague epidemics, various famines and a big earthquake in the year 1348, which brought more destruction or Entvölkerungen with it. But Bavarian tenacity monastery and brewery to rebuild and even their brewing again and again helped the Benedictine monks, to the refine. The secularisation brought the death knell of the monastery but on 24 March 1803 all possessions and rights of the monastery were transferred to the Bavarian State. The brewery but remained and Schleissheim from was now managed by the Royal country estate. The agricultural Central School of Schleissheim moved in 1852 to Weihenstephan and with it also the Bavarian brewing students came. Out of school an Academy was the College for agriculture and brewery in 1895, 1919 and 1930, it formed a part of the Technical University of Munich. So was the center of German, even global brewing technology in Weihenstephan. After the second world war, she was hardly to cope with increasing beer production in the historic brewery with its old buildings. An extensive renewal of brewhouse, vats and cellar buildings took place, and so excellent beer products can be guaranteed today with the latest technology.
