 German Beer History
In the beer tax law, which regulates beer production, it states: "For the preparation of beer, only malt, hops, yeast and water can be used." German brewers observe strict compliance with the Reinheitsgebot and the guarantee that in Germany only good, healthy beers will be brewed.
The oldest evidence that beer was brewed in Germany comes from around 800 BC beer amphorae from what is known as the Hallsstattzeit found near Kulmbach.
An prominent date in the history of beer is without a doubt the enactment of the Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law) in 1516 by Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria.

Beer's 3.75-inch Fraunhofer refractor, though of modest size, was first class and gave a sharper definition than the larger reflectors of Herschel and Schroeter.
At the beginning of their observations, Beer and Mädler's attention had been struck by a small round patch "hanging from an undulating ribbon." This round patch had been represented very imperfectly by Herschel in 1783, and on several occasions by Schroeter in 1798, but Beer and Mädler were the first to show it clearly.
At the opposition of 1858, Mars was extensively observed by the Jesuit astronomer Angelo Secchi, director of the observatory of the Collegio Romano in Rome.
