| ~ Wer weis' will werden ohne Müh ~ | |
| This stein was designed by Franz Ringer ca. early 1900's. It is a souvenier stein from the city of Nürnberg extolling one of the advantages of coming to Nürnberg. The funnel referred to is the Nürnberger Trichter (Nürnberg Funnel) a jocular description of a mechanical way of learning and teaching. The phrase is familiar in German-speaking countries and dates back to the 17th century. Also shown below is a 1910 Nuremberg poster stamp depicting the Nürnberg funnel in use. | |
