~ Auf die Kunst des Guttenberg ~ | |
This stein features a likeness of Johannes Gutenberg, the 15th century inventor of the printing press with moveable type and printer of the famous Gutenberg Bible. However I don't think that as suggested by the verse, one has to have the skills of Gutenberg to enjoy a good beer. | |
Auf die Kunst des Guttenberg, trinkt heut noch jeder gern, einen guten Stoff gewürzet, mit Hopf und Gerstenkern. |
With the skill of Guttenberg, everyone still today happily drinks a good brew seasoned with hops and barley corn. |
