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]
Brauerei Kaiserdom
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]
