Radeberger (Reverse - Dresden)
The reverse side of the Radeberger beer mat, with an old engraving of Dresden and the Elbe River. The Frauenkirche is at far left, so it must be around 1740 or later. I first drank Radeberger on a train from Leipzig to Berlin.
The Radeberger brewery was founded in 1872 in Radeberg, a town about 20 km (12 miles) northeast of Dresden. The beer found favor with German Chancellor Otto von Bismark and with Kings of Sachsen (Saxony). The text says that Radeberger was official beer supplier to Friedrich August III, the last King of Sachsen (Saxony). Like other German Kings and sovereign princes, he was forced to abdicate in November 1918, at the end of World War I.
