1672 saw the founding, in Nuremberg, of a brewery known as Städtisches Weizenbrauhaus (Municipal wheat-beer brewery), where wheat beer was brewed for the first time in Nuremberg. When, in 1806, Nuremberg was annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria, the brewery was renamed Königliches Weizenbrauhaus (Royal wheat-beer brewery). A half-century later the brewery was purchased by the von Tucher family, which renamed it Freiherrlich von Tucher'sche Brauerei (Baron von Tucher brewery) and incorporated the Moors into their coat of arms as a sign of their good trade relationships with what was then known in Germany as Mohrenland (Land of the Moors). Ever since that time, Tucher Bräu’s trademark has been the von Tucher coat of arms, the Tucher Moor.
