Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus is a brewery owned by the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Rothaus, at the northern edge of the village of Grafenhausen in the southern Black Forest, is one of Germany’s most successful and profitable regional breweries.

History

Rothaus received its name from the patrician family “Roth”, which originated from the region of Klettgau and settled down in Grafenhausen around 1300 AD.

In 1340, they began the construction of their homestead there, the “Rothe Haus” (Ger.: “The Red House”). In 1660, the house was sold to a man named Michael Kaiser who would then proceed to turn it into an Inn after obtaining a liquor license from the Benedictine monastery of St. Blasien. The order itself bought the premises 100 years later and reconstructed it.
