Ribbed
A ribbed , also called cider or Schopp glass, is a drinking vessel made of glass with a diamond-shaped outer structure. While the name "Ribbed" refers to the exterior design, the "Schopp glass" refers to the old measure of capacity pint . In addition to the versions made of glass, there are also “ribbed” plastic cups as disposable or reusable cups, but these are rather unusual. The latter have also been available in colorful versions as children's tableware for some time.
use
The ribs are used to drink cider . Similar to the Palatinate dub glass, the special structure of the glasses is attributed to the fact that in the past people often ate without cutlery and glasses without structure slipped out of the then greasy hands. Another reason is the ability of the glass to lend shine to cloudy, unfiltered liquids through the decor, like a prism.
Common calibrations of the apple wine glasses were 0.3 l, 0.25 l, 1/4 l and 0.2 l. The latter was called "Salöngchen". Today the ribbed is available in sizes of 0.25 liters (height 12.6 cm, diameter 7.4 cm, weight 250 g) and 0.5 liters (height 15.5 cm, diameter 9.1 cm, weight 410 g) used. In the traditional apple wine restaurants in Frankfurt am Main and the surrounding area, the 0.3 l glasses that are still being produced are used.
The 0.25 l glass is also mocked as a "bugger glass", as some innkeepers kept the old price when changing the glasses from 0.3 l to 0.25 l. The size of the glass is in a ratio of 4 to 1 with the bottles and embellishments in which the cider is sold. The bottles usually hold 1 liter, the smallest bembel in a restaurant is the 4-bembel, which holds either 1 or 1.2 liters. Prior to the introduction of the metric system in Frankfurt be used the dimensions pint (≈ 0.448 l) and Schankmaß (≈ 1.5937 l). The ribbed of 0.5 liters is therefore closer to the traditional bottle size than the smaller glasses that are more common today.
On 30 July 2014 was in Limburg an 84 liter, manufactured by the glassworks Limburg, Ribbed first filled. With a height of 81 cm and a diameter of 45 cm, it gets an entry in the Guinness Book of Records and is to be exhibited together with the largest Bembel in the world in a planned cider museum.
equipment
In order to protect the contents of the ribbed from insects, there are matching "Schoppedeckel", turned wooden lids that are lacquered or oiled with linseed oil, sometimes they are painted.
Others
In Frankfurt am Main , the Westhafen Tower is also known as "the ribbed" because of its external facade, although it is made up of triangles and not rhombuses. The third jersey used by Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2013/14 season , which was inspired by the Westhafen Tower in terms of color (petrol) and pattern (diamonds of a "Schoppeglases"), was marketed as a "Geripptes" jersey.
