Heidelberg Castle Mettlach Beer Stein

A view of Heidelberg Castle adorns this charming .5 liter Mettlach beer stein by Villeroy & Boch. Etched into its lid is text taken from an 1853 poem by Josef Viktor von Scheffel honoring the city, reading Alt Heidelberg du feine, du Stadt an Ehren reich, am Neckar und am Rhein, keine andre kommt dir gleich, or "Old Heidelberg you fine city, rich in honors, on the Neckar and Rhine, no other can equal you."
