~ Wenn ich einmal der Herrgott wär. ~
|
This stein was designed by Ludwig Hohlwein (NB. the small "o" in the text
characteristic of Hohlwein) ca. 1910. The verse relates a classic story
about a man who would be God and then creates a large barrel to hold a huge
quantity of wine. Then when he succeeded in drinking all the wine, he
lamented and prayed to God to be God once again. The verse is from an 1841 drinking
song by Eduard Amthor.
