�Ob Rittersmann, ob Lanzesknecht,
jeder gern sein Schoppen zecht.�
(Whether knight or soldier,
each gladly downs his portion of beer.)
A Landsknecht (or Landesknecht) was a feudal serf used for military purposes by their 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.
