~ Schon vor zweien tausend Jahren ~
This verse seems to indicate that Germans have been hereditary drinkers forever and I admit that I'm a faithful descendent. This cute little 0.3 L. relief stein marked "216" was made by Dümler & Breiden ca. 1900.
Schon vor zweien tausend Jahren die alten Deutschen Trinker waren.	For more than two thousand years the old (ancient) Germans were drinkers.
