Privatbrauerei Hoepfner
Privatbrauerei Hoepfner traces its origins to 1798, when the Hoepfner family began an inn and brewing operation in Liedolsheim. In 1850, Jakob Friedrich Hoepfner relocated to Karlsruhe, taking over a brewery on what is now Kaiserstraße. Under Friedrich Hoepfner from 1872, the business expanded rapidly into an industrial-scale enterprise. Between 1896 and 1899 an iconic new brewery was built at Haid-und-Neu-Straße 18, the 'Hoepfner Burg', a striking sandstone building blending medieval castle, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau architecture that remains the brewery's home today.
