~ Wenn vom Krug der Deckel springt ~ | |
This Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) stein by A. J. Thewalt, mold #718, is attributed to Wilhelm Kamp, ca. early 1900's. This verse seems to say that whenever a stein of beer in uncovered, it pays homage to Munich (the Beer Capitol of the World) as represented by the Munich Child. | |
Wenn vom Krug der Deckel springt sei willkommen Münch'ner Kind |
If the lid springs (open) from the stein, then the Munich Child is welcomed. |
