The Welde Brewery was founded in 1752 as a small in-house brewery in the Grünes Laub tavern at Mannheimer Straße 2. The company expanded and in 1934/35 built a several storey brewhouse on Herzogstraße that is a good 36 m tall. Today the building is privately owned and one of the few examples of the Bauhaus aesthetic in Schwetzingen.
