Sünner
The brewery began in Deutz in 1830 and moved in 1860 to Kalk, where its brick brewhouse of 1888 to 1890 is Cologne’s oldest industrial monument still used for its first purpose. German Wikipedia credits Sünner with the first modern Kölsch, a pale top-fermented beer of 1906 first advertised as echt Kölsch in 1918. The Brauerei zur Malzmühle took over the company in 2021 or 2022, as sources differ, and kept Sünner when it sold Mühlen Kölsch to Gaffel in 2025.
