Landsknecht Approaching Tavern

Catalog No. 1134

Pottery, etched, 1.0L, pottery lid.

Text:
�Im Krug zum gr�nen Kranze, da kehrt ich durstig ein!�
(Into the Green Wreath Tavern, there I returned with a thirst!)

Text is taken from a drinking song entitled �Br�derschaft� (Fraternity) written in 1821 by Wilhelm M�ller and set to music by Carl Georg Peter Gr�dener.

A Landsknecht was a feudal serf used for military purposes by his master. 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.

Price Range: $125-$175
