Adela - I believe you have a Duemler & Breiden, 4 liter master stein. The Beer Stein Library - http://www.beerstein.net/Item.asp?ItemID=9596 - (Membership required) provides the following description of the scenes depicted on it - "The side scenes on this stein depict two events in the ill-fated relationship between Hermann (or Aminius), leader of the German tribes in their victory over three Roman legions at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest (9 A.D.), and Thusnelda, the woman who would become his wife. In one of the scenes, Hermann is seen “abducting” Thusnelda following the battle. In the other, her father Segest swears a revenge that would eventually lead to Thusnelda being captured and enslaved by the Romans." - You may also want to check out the information of Duemler & Breiden located at http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/pages/pv.asp?p=stein57 - Follow the link on this page to Peter Duemler for additional information on him as The Beer Stein Library indicates he was the designer of this master stein. Hope you find this information helpful - Walter
