| ~ Je schöner die Kneip ~ | |
| The verse makes sense to me. This is an etched Mettlach stein mold number 2090 made in 1903. It is the so-called "club stein". The German word "Kneip" refers to a local tavern, club or pub where the men of the "Dorf" (village) could meet and you know the rest. | |
|
Je schöner die Kneip, desto schlimmer für's Weib. Je schlimmer das Weib, um so schöner die Kneip. |
The nicer the tavern, the worse it is for the wife. The worse the wife, so much nicer is the tavern. |
