~ Der Schnaps und Not, zum Teufel jagd ~ | |
The message here is that brandy (strong drink) and need are the devil's work and Gambrinus with his beer is the friend of the common man. The large relief stein is marked "902 Germany 8", ca. 1900. | |
Der Schnaps und Not, zum Teufel jagd und Frohsinn giebt und Kraft, hoch dir Grambrinus, Völkerfreund und deinem Gerstensaft. |
Schnaps (brandy) and need, the devil seeks and gives cheerfulness and strength, long live Gambrinus, the people's friend and his barley juice (beer). |
