When the "Friesisches Brauhaus zu Jever" was founded by Diedrich König in 1848, it was only one of several breweries in the region.

In 1848, he played an important part in installing the first water supply system in Jever.

Today the Bavaria – St. Pauli Brewery is owned by the Danish Carlsberg Group.

After World War II, the brewery once again found itself experiencing difficult times.

Due to a fuel shortage, beer could only be sold from the brewery gates directly to customers.
