The founding of the PRIVAT-BRAUEREI HEINRICH REISSDORF – at that time called TOP-FERMENTED BRAUEREI HEINRICH REISSDORF – in 1894 in Cologne’s Severinsviertel also falls within this period. Its founder, Heinrich Reißdorf, originally came from a long-established farming family who were blacksmiths and wagon builders in Zieverich, today the municipality of Bergheim.

A few years later, in 1905, the name “Kölsch” for the top-fermented Cologne beer specialty, which was previously called “Wiess”, also celebrated its premiere.

They led the company into the difficult economic times – the brewery was 90% destroyed – after the Second World War. Despite the adverse circumstances, the two brothers managed to produce a single beer with 2% – 4% vol. in mid-1948. alcohol produce and bottle.
The company is continued today in the fourth generation.
