Gaustadt is a district of Bamberg, Upper Franconia in Germany.
Gaustadt has a population of about 6,500. Until 1972 it was a small independent town, but in that year it became part of the City of Bamberg through a referendum. [1] [2]
One of Gaustadt's principal employers is the Brauerei Kaiserdom, the largest brewery in Bamberg. [3] [4] It was founded in 1718 by Georg Morg. Since 1910, it has been managed by the Wörner family, who in 2016 also purchased the Klosterbräu Bamberg. [5]
In 1953, they brewed 6,000 hectolitres (5,100 US bbl ). As of 2016, the brewery reported producing about 320,000 hectolitres (270,000 US bbl). [4] [5]
In 2015, a discarded cigarette caused a large fire at the brewery, resulting in 8 injuries and 2 million euros in damages. [6] [7]
Kaiserdom's current production includes Pilsener, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, Kristallweizen, Schwarzbier, Kellerbier, Dark Lager and non-alcoholic beer. [8] The company also produces soft drinks and since 2024 has operated a bottling line for Fritz-kola. [9]
