Text:
“Im Krug zum grünen Kranze, da kehrt ich durstig ein!”

A Landsknecht was a feudal serf used for military purposes by his master. These “soldiers” were often traded between landowners and were, in a sense, the equivalent of modern mercenaries, with the important difference that they were not free to choose their employer.
