Frederick Barbarossa (1122–1190), also known as Frederick I (Friedrich), was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 until his death 35 years later.
He was elected King of Germany in Frankfurt on 4 March 1152 and crowned in Aachen on 9 March 1152. He was crowned King of Italy on 24 April 1155 in Pavia and emperor by Pope Adrian IV on 18 June 1155 in Rome.
He was named Barbarossa by the northern Italian cities which he attempted to rule: Barbarossa means "red beard" in Italian; in German, he was known as Kaiser Rotbart, which in English means "Emperor Redbeard."
Frederick joined the Third Crusade and opted to travel overland to the Holy Land. In 1190, Frederick drowned attempting to cross the Saleph river, leading to most of his army abandoning the Crusade before reaching Acre.
He combined qualities that made him appear almost superhuman to his contemporaries: his longevity, his ambition, his extraordinary skills at organization, his battlefield acumen and his political perspicacity
Due to his popularity and notoriety, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, he was used as a political symbol by many movements and regimes as the Wilhelmine government in Germany, especially under Emperor Wilhelm I and the Nazism, resulting in both golden and dark legends.

Actually I want to talk about a brand of beer whose image is that of a statue of Emperor Barbarossa that is sculpted in this monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I.
The Kyffhäuser Monument (Kyffhäuserdenkmal), also known as Barbarossa Monument, is an Emperor Willhelm I monument in the Kyffhäuser mountain range in the German state of Thuringia. It was erected from 1890 to 1896 atop the ruins of the medieval Kyffhauser Castle near Bad Frankenhausen....

As we already said, this beer was made in Artern, a town in the Kyffhäuserkreis district, Thuringia, Germany. Is situated at the confluence of the rivers Unstrut and Helme, on a bend of the Unstrut, which flows through the town from the southeast to the northwest.
It is located in the north east of Thuringia, close to the border with Saxony Anhalt, and 12 km south of Sangerhausen.
The first known documented mention of Artern was as Aratora in the early 9th Century, in a register of estates at Hersfeld Abbey.
On 12 April 1945 Artern was occupied by the US Army, and in July of the same year by the Red Army. With this it became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later East Germany.
