The decorative ribbon bears a playful Old German toast: "Viel Durst, viel Schwein". Literal translation: "A lot of thirst, a lot of pigs". However, in German, the word "Schwein" (pig) in stable expressions (for example, Schwein haben) historically means luck and luck. This is due to the times of the Middle Ages, when owning a pig guaranteed a well-fed winter and prosperity.
In the context of the feast, the inscription translates as a wish: "Great thirst and great luck!".
The plot of the drawing is complemented by heraldic elements, an ornament of hop leaves and an image of well-fed and contented pigs.
