Ich lebe in Franken, wo es viele tolle Brauereien gibt, und ich bringe die leeren Kisten zurück zu den Geschäften, in denen ich sie gekauft habe, um sicherzustellen, dass sie wieder bei der richtigen Brauerei ankommen.
Wenn ich eine dieser Kisten in Köln, Hamburg oder Berlin zurückgeben würde, würden sie dann den Weg zurück zu den Brauereien hier im Raum Bamberg finden? Gibt es dafür ein System?

Most bottles (especially from smaller breweries) are absolutely generic. In the recycling process, the recycling companies remove the labels and just sell them to the nearest brewery anyway.
The crate would eventually reappear at the original brewery if you return it to a big enough Getränkemarkt. But you wouldn’t necessarily get the crate Pfand back unless your market recognizes that crate. You would get bottle Pfand back regardless.
Most Shops only accept bottles and crates from Brands they also sell. If they are Standard 0,5l brown Glass bottles, they maybe accept them without selling the Brand but they won’t accept the crates.
If the crates wander too far away from home, they are shredded instead of shipped back.

Usually you can bring them to almost every larger Getränkemarkt, like Hoffmann.
Both great beers. Big W
I am originally from Franken as well but live some distance away now (so I frequently import beer from home).
Returning bottles is usually not an issue (most are standardized) but crates typically do not work unless the local store sells them.
So returning Weiherer, Meister, Hallerndorfer,… crates will not work.
I used to refill the bottles to eg Augustinerbräu crates which are sold in many other places. But I was lucky … I found a local store which imports and sells beer (even small breweries like Hallerndorf)!
Heavily depends if you find a store that sells that specific drink. Take it from someone working in a Getränkemarkt.
For example, the Weiherer: If they sell it, they’ll take it, obviously.
If they don’t sell it, at most they’ll take the bottles off of you as long as they don’t have any engravings (i.e. Becks had those a bit back, near the neck). You’d have to keep the crate.
Sometimes, they take them either way, „hide“ it between other crates and who knows what happens after it’s send back for sorting to the central storage.
If I remember correctly Weiherer is relatively new in our store (northern Germany), so I don’t expect supermarkets to run it(yet), you would have to specifically look for Getränkemärkte. Surprisingly of all stores, Kaufland does have a good sortiment of „exotic“ beer nowadays, so you might be able to try your luck there too.
