~ Die Fischerin vom Bodensee ~
 
This is the first line of a folk song by Franz Winkler composed in 1947. The stein without lid is of the period and marked "Western Germany", ca. post WW II. The Bodensee shares a border with Switzerland and is more commonly known as Lake Constance.
 
Die Fischerin vom Bodensee
ist eine schöne Maid' juch-he!
The fisher woman from Boden Sea
is a beautiful maiden - shout of joy!
