Beer Stein "Wanderfreunde Klam" with Pewter Lid, Former "Alma" Prop, Südbahnhotel Semmering – 1980s

A high-quality ceramic beer stein with an elegant pewter lid and the coat of arms of the "Wanderfreunde Klam" hiking club.

History

The stein was originally one of the props in the play "Alma", staged by Paulus Manker in the legendary Südbahnhotel on the Semmering. After the hotel was cleared, it was bought at auction – and so tells a piece of Austrian cultural history.
