�Trinkt auch mancher And�re aus Gold feinen Wein,
wir freu�n uns nicht minder beim Bierkrug von Stein.�
(Even if some others drink fine wine out of gold,
we are no less happy with our beer stein made of stoneware.)
This is a late 19th century interpretation of a form that dates back to around 1550. Bearded man jugs (Bartmannkr�ge) feature the face of a bearded man at the neck representing the mythical woodland Wild Man of Germanic folklore, a symbol of strength and endurance.
