Your stein (or mug) if it has no lid is from a historic beer hall. The Burger Brau Keller was the site of the famous (infamous) beer hall putsch when Hitler and the Nazis attempted to seize power in Munich in 1923. The coup failed and Hitler was imprisoned in Landshut with Rudolph Hess. It was here that he wrote (dictated to Hess) his political credo, Mein Kampf.

The Burger Brau Keller was still in existance in 1966 but fell to developers in the next 4 or 5 years.

Stein and mugs from their will vary based on age and condition. As far as I know, they only used regular mugs or drinking purposes and not for artistic expression. Fair prices probably fall between $50 to $150. Neo-Nazi's and those wishing to glorify the Third Reich would probably pay the most for it. It was not a famous tourist destination and its connection to politics during the post WW1 chaos are probably its best feature.
