History
In 1807 raised on this place the brown beer-brewery according to Schreiber. There were several breweries of this type in Quedlinburg and surrounding area at that time. Carl- Friedrich Lüdde from Schöningen, Niedersachsen, took over the brewery 1876 and founded a successful development which continued three generations.

Brown beer was a very popular public drink at that time because of its low alcoholic content, its well sweetness, and its natural sparkling. The beer was brewed on the day before, filled in large wooden- taps, and finally transported on a trap or later with a pickup truck to the customer for street sale.
 

The draymen had to drive daily their routes and surely the customers knew when Lüdde came. The customers were lured on the street with loud ringing of bells and the drayman filled the brown beer directly in cans, jars, and pails by the litres.
 

There were instructions for new customers how to handle the still callow brown beer. You had to add approximately the same part of water, fill it into a bottle, and store it some days to mature.
 

Anybody were so thirsty, did not want to wait, or did not paid attention during the introduction. Inevitable happened things which can you expect after consumption of callow beer: stomach upsets, dysentery, flatulence and so on. The common speech for brown beer was therefore “Pubarschknall”.
 

The most successful time for the brewery was in the nineteen-thirties. Customers in a surrounding area of 60 km, which means till Magdeburg or the South-Harz Mountains, were provided. The traps were not sufficed anymore. The brewery owned next to 4 traps also 14 pickup trucks to manage the long distances at that time.
 

Georg Lüdde put on stream the brewery under thinkable very hard conditions after the break because of the war in autumn 1945. The turnover decreased in the nineteen-sixties from year to year. Meanwhile, modern drinks were available at the market. Furthermore, Geord Lüdde became 65 years old, the equipment abraded and there wasn’t any financial subsidy for private enterprises in the former GDR, quite the contrary. So he decided with a heavy heart to close the brewery for ever on 1st October 1966.
