About this audio guide
This guide to Brauerei Schumacher in Düsseldorf, the city's oldest house brewery, centres on Thea Schnitzler and the year nineteen sixty-six, when her husband Hans, the master brewer, died and the business needed someone to run it. It reaches back to the Sunrise brewery bought in eighteen thirty-eight, to the family's move out to what was then the city's eastern edge, and to the West German law that governed whether a married woman could work. Best heard at a table in the wood-panelled Stammhaus on Oststraße.
