[1] Its origins are in a brewery founded in 1131 by the Benedictine nuns of Geisenfeld Abbey to supply beer to their extensive possessions in the area.
During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) the area around Herrngiersdorf was devastated by the Swedes, but the brewery was not damaged.
In 1850 the owners built a summer tavern, today's Schlossbräukelle, in the fermentation and storage cellar.
He ran into financial difficulties and was forced to auction the property in 1899, when it was acquired by Paul Pausinger.
Over the years that followed the brewery was modernized and additional buildings were erected, but was still run by the Pausinger family except for a period during World War II (1939–1945).
