Entrepreneur
Eberhard Anheuser was born in Bad Kreuzbach in western Germany near Mainz. He emigrated in 1842 to the United States.
As a major creditor of the Bavarian Brewery Company, he took over the company in 1860 by purchasing the minor creditors’ interests. Thus he became president and CEO of the brewery and renamed it Eberhard Anheuser and Company. He was joined later by his son-in-law Adolphus Busch and the Company became Anheuser Busch, the world’s third largest brewing company.
