�Des Morgens, Mittags, Abends, Nachts,
trink dein Bier und dann verlachts.�

(Morning, midday, evening and night,

Landsknechte were feudal serfs used for military purposes by their masters. These �soldiers� were often traded between landowners and were, in a sense, the equivalent of modern mercenaries, with the important difference that they were not free to choose their employer.

Same model number applied to a stein depicting Gnomes with Saying.
