Favorite piece of the month August

Every month, visitors to the "sam - Stadtmuseum am Markt" choose their favorite item from the collections at a multimedia station. In August, the choice fell on a beer mug.

The beer mug shows a view of Wiesbaden with the landmarks of the Neroberg: the Greek Chapel and the Monopteros. It reminds us of Wiesbaden's days as a spa town.

Beer mugs with lids were invented in the 15th century. They were introduced as a hygiene measure by principalities in response to the effects of the plague.
