Einbeck - Bockbierstadt seit 1378 0 Euro Note

This 0 Euro note was made for Einbeck, a town in the district Northeim, in southern Lower Saxony, Germany, on the German Timber-Frame Road, which is well-known for its beer and beer-brewing tradition, dating back to the 1300s. Written evidence about the export of Einbecker beer dates back to 1351. The beer was brewed in larger houses that had the entitlement to brew. These houses are still easily identified through their arched wide doors, necessary to move in the brewing kettle, called a brewing pan. The organization of the process and the marketing of the beer was led by the city council. Einbeck joined the Hanse in 1368 thus broadening the distribution area which now reached from Antwerp in the west to Riga in the east and from Stockholm in the north to Munich in the south. In Munich the name Einbeck was mispronounced as "oan bock" (a billy goat), and when the ducal brewhouse copied the taste, Bock style beer was born.

The Einbecker Brewery (German: Einbecker Brauhaus) is a brewery located in Einbeck, Lower Saxony, Germany. Founded before 1378, it is one of the oldest still operating breweries in the world. The city of Einbeck is noted for its bock beer, and Einbecker, the only remaining brewery in town, makes multiple varieties thereof.  Read More
