Restaurateur, Brewer. Born in Germany, Klausmann apprenticed to a painter and mastered his trade working as a journeyman sign painter before coming to the U.S. in 1839. Settling in Kentucky, he met Miss M.A. Uhrig, whose brothers later became famous beer brewing pioneers in St. Louis. The couple married and came to St. Louis, and opened a restaurant known as "Our House." The business prospered, and they established the Klausmann Brewery in 1857. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Klausmann took over the business. "Klausmann's Cave," a famous old-time resort, was added to the original manufacturing plant under her management.
