Gaustadt has a population of about 6,500. Until 1972 it was a small independent town, but in that year it became part of the City of Bamberg through a referendum.^[1]^[2]

One of Gaustadt's principal employers is the Brauerei Kaiserdom, the largest brewery in Bamberg..^[3]^[4] It was founded in 1718 by Georg Morg. Since 1910, it has been managed by the Wörner family, who in 2016 also purchased the Klosterbräu Bamberg.^[5]

In 1953, they brewed 6,000 hectolitres (5,100 US bbl). As of 2016, the brewery reported producing about 320,000 hectolitres (270,000 US bbl).^[4]^[5]

In 2015, a discarded cigarette caused a large fire at the brewery, resulting in 8 injuries and 2 million euros in damages.^[6]^[7]

Kaiserdom's current production includes Pilsener, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, Kristallweizen, Schwarzbier, Kellerbier, Dark Lager and non-alcoholic beer.^[8] The company also produces soft drinks and since 2024 has operated a bottling line for Fritz-kola.^[9]
