About Privat-Brauerei Zötler
Number 10 worldwide...
The Privat-Brauerei-Zötler is the oldest family brewery in the world!
In the June issue (2004) of the business magazine "EURO", a list of the oldest family-owned companies in the world was published:
From this it can be seen that the private brewery Zötler is the 10th oldest family-owned company in the world still in existence.
As no brewery can be found in places 1-9, we are now the oldest family brewery in the world with over 565 years of existence.
The innovative family brewery owes its knowledge of this incredible tradition not least to its village priest Manfred Gohl. It should be noted that all the historical records were completely destroyed in the brewery's last major fire in 1917.
For many years, the enterprising village priest has made it his task to meticulously trace the history of Rettenberg and thus also the history of the Zötler brewery from the still complete records in the parish books.
It was only in this way that the brewery learned of its founding date in 1447 about a decade ago.
