~ Das deutsche Lied ist unser Hort ~ | |
This patriotic theme has run in Germania for centuries and was adopted specifically in this form by the Singing Association Kürnberg in Linz, Austria in 1921. The Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein is marked with the logo of Steinzeug Industrie and black ink "789", ca. early 1900's. | |
Das deutsche Lied ist unser Hort, und unser Spruch, ein Mann ein Wort. |
The German song is our refuge (treasure), and our motto (is), one man one word (pledge). |
