~ Alles kann der Deutsche tragen ~ | |
Those Germans are tough, but when it comes to drinking they have a soft spot. The stoneware, Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein is marked in black ink "1316", ca. early 1900's. | |
Alles kann der Deutsche tragen, nur den Durst vertragt er nicht. |
The Germans can endure anything, (but) only thirst they cannot endure. |
