30 Years German Unity Stein
Product Information 30 years ago -just one year after the Berlin Wall came down- the former East Germany and West Germany became ONE Germany THE REUNITED NATION OF GERMANY. The Reunification was a process in 1990. Its end is officially referred to as the German Unity (The Deutsche Einheit), celebrated since then each year on October 3rd. The East German government started to falter in 1989, after the removal of Hungary's border fence with Austria opened a hole in the Iron Curtain. It caused an exodus of East Germans, fleeing to West Germany via Hungary and Austria. At the same time, in East Germany itself, people took all their courage and started to demonstrate on the streets, not knowing how their socialist government would respond. Every Monday night, they convened in city centers, sending a clear message to their government and the world by exlaiming "Wir sind ein Volk". (We are one Nation). The crowds grew substantially every Monday and the calls for unity and freedom got louder every time. In honor of the courage of thousands of Germans who tireless marched the streets every Monday, King Werk, Wuerfel & Mueller has incorporated this call for unity on that stein. On the opposite side, the script band says "Deutschland, einig Vaterland" (Germany, united Fatherland). The center of the stein shows the map of the New Germany indicating the former border line, also referred to as "the death strip". The deep relief, hand painted German Eagle - symbol for strength and steadiness - is the center piece of this stein, also symbolizing that these virtues did make Germany whole again. Also, the deep relief oak ornaments are standing for pride, strength, loyalty, firmenss and perpetuity. The coat of arms of each individual state of the Federal Republic of Germany are spread over the stein. Since Germany has become one, the crests are randomly positioned on the stein, symbolizing that Germany has become one nation again, without making any difference between east and west. In gratitude to the continuos support of former Western Germany by the United States, the text "Wiedervereinigung / Reunification" has been applied in deep relief in English and German on that stein. Another highlight is the pewter lid of this must-have stein, symbolizing the fall of the Iron Curtain and the United Germany: Behind an original piece of the Berlin wall, the German eagle rises like phoenix from the ashes. Original German Wall piece on lid, Hand-painted Limited to 1,000 pieces. Content: 0.75 Liter Height: 11 4/5"
30th Anniversary Fall of the Berlin Wall Stein
For almost 30 years, The Wall was a 12 feet tall concrete barrier that divided Berlin not just physically but ideologically as well. The Wall cut off West Berlin from surrounding GDR (German Democratic Republic), including East Berlin. While the GDR and the Eastern Block referred to the Berlin Wall as the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart", the West called it the "Wall of Shame". From 1961 until 1989, the Berlin Wall prevented almost all attempts of emigration. Over 100.000 people tried to escape. Only about 5.000 succeded. For people from West Berlin it was possible to get close to the wall so that "there side" got totally covered with graffity art. For East Germans, a so-called "death-strip" prevented getting close to the wall. In 1989, a serious of revolutions in nearby European countries caused a chain reaction in Eastern Germany. After weeks of demonstrations and civil unrest, the East German Government announced on Nov. 09. 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Berlin as well as West Germany. Crowds of East and West Germans climbed onto the Wall, celebrating this moment of freedom. Euphoric people and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall. Not only does this stein show buildings which all played a role during the Cold War it shows the Berlin Coat of Arms in Front of the Brandenburg Gate. The historical date of November 9th, 1989 has been in-sized into the stein plus it also shows the perspective that everyone now had: That Berlin would become the capitol of the re-united Germany again (BERLIN Hauptstadt von Deutschland).

Bavaria Relief Stein,"stone-grey", 0.5 Ltr. with pewter lid
Saluting the Free State of Bavaria with the state's Lion Crest in deep relief as its dominant motif, this stein is a must for every collector and beer connoisseur. The text beneath "Gott mit dir, du Land der Bayern" ("God shall be with you, land of the Bavarians") quotes the first line of the Bavarian Anthem. The Neuschwanstein castle and the Munich Marienplatz as deep relief side motifs represent Bavaria's history as well as famous art and lifestyle. This stein was decorated in the so-called "Old German Style" Stonegrey technique: After cobalt blue color has been applied on the stein, the cobalt is removed with small sponges and tissue from the raised areas so that the cobalt remains in the re-cessed parts of the decor. After this has been completed, the stein is coated with transparent glaze to "seal" the stein and it is fired in the killn. This kind of stein gets a very unique look, resulting from the color combination of the natural clay color (grey stoneware) and the cobalt blue coloring. Alternatively, we do offer this stein in the so-called "cobalt, hand-painted" version as well: After the same production steps as for the "Old German Style" technique, the motifs are painted with color per hand and fired afterwards again. Both versions have their own charme and it is just a matter of your personal taste that makes you chose what fits best to you. If you are interested how this stein might look in the "Cobalt blue, multi colored" version, then please refer to article # 393/BZ

The Neuschwanstein castle and the Munich Marienplatz as deep relief side motifs represent Bavaria's history as well as famous art and lifestyle. This version has the so-called "cobalt" finish: The painting has been applied with the cobalt background (under-glaze) color. The relief appears more colorful and shiny on the cobalt version vs. the rustic decór technique. There is no "better" version - It's simply a matter of personal taste.
