This is an etched/relief (3.8 L.) stein marked with the Mettlach logo, mold number2038 and
dated 1897. It is usually called the Rodenstein stein because it features the
Rodenstein castle on the lid. On the front are listed the surrounding cities of
Gersprenz, Reichelsheim im Odenwald and Pfaffen-Beerfurth. The verse is translated
literally and essentially describes a student's thirst for theological knowledge at
the university at Pfaffen-Beerfurth and probably also a large thirst for beer
judging from the size of this stein. This stein also comes in a 1 L. and 1/2 L.
size (mold number 2829) for students with smaller thirsts.
