Dub glass
The Dubbeglas is a glass drinking vessel for wine or wine spritzer , which is mainly used in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of the Palatinate . It has a capacity of a real bottle , i.e. half a liter . With reference to this, a “Dubbeschoppe” is often ordered in the catering industry.
Name and description
The name is derived from the round indentations that are worked into the outside of the glass, which widens towards the top: Dubbe means dots in Palatinate . These give the glass a special grip. Mostly it consists of pressed glass , the Dubbe come from molds that are mostly used in the manufacture of the glasses; In a more noble and more expensive variant of production, the Dubbe are ground into the glass .
use
In terms of function, the Dubbeglas can be compared with the Frankfurt “ ribbed ” glass . According to tradition, the dub glass was invented by butchers from the Palatinate spa and district town of Bad Dürkheim , because the previously common smooth stick glasses slipped too easily from the greasy or damp hand at slaughter festivals. According to an old custom, such a glass is sometimes passed from hand to hand in the wine group, drinking from it one after the other.
In addition to the dub glass , the traditional bottle glass is also used in the Palatinate . This is a smooth, cylindrical vessel that, like the dub glass, has a capacity of half a liter.
Advertising medium
- Advertising label
Both the Dubbeglas and the cylindrical bottle glass are often labeled as advertising material , for example at wine festivals , with the coat of arms or the slogan of the respective place, the winery , the winegrowers' cooperative or the wine-growing region .
- medal
At the largest wine festival in the world, the Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt , a Dubbeglass medal with an annually changing motto is sold.
- monument
In the local church Palatinate Maikammer stands on the marketplace since 1984 the stone Schopp monument . The stone block has a recess at hand height, into which a Dubbeglass can be placed. With the help of the monument that the sculptor Günther Berlejung, born in Ludwigshafen in 1949, created in 1984, a local citizens' initiative together with the Palatinate Wine Brotherhood succeeded in dissuading the Palatinate gastronomy from their plan, the bottle size from 0.5 to 0.4 liters to zoom out.
- Stratospheric flight
On July 3, 2016, Thomas Butsch, Robert Kwiatek and Dirk Fellhauer had a dub glass transported from the municipality of Heßheim in the Upper Palatinate through a weather balloon into the stratosphere , where an altitude between 33 and 35 km was reached. The weather balloon with the glass landed 140 km (as the crow flies) in the Middle Franconian city of Uffenheim and was salvaged from a tree top by the local volunteer fire brigade .
music
