Tübingen beer mug
Tübinger beer mugs are produced by several companies in different versions.
The Tübinger Walzenseidel and the Tübingen Ernstseidel were manufactured by the Saxon glass factory August Walther & Söhne AG in Ottendorf-Okrilla and Radeberg . A shape for a 0.2 l beer mug (Walzenseidel 5/20, shape no. 592) was created around 1927. The beer mug appeared for the first time in the sample book Pressglas Sächsische Glasfabrik Radeberg in 1928. The Seidel was called "Walzenpitschel with a square shield". After 1933 it was listed as "Tübinger Walzenseidel with a square shield, heavy" in the Walther sample book under the same form no. Named 592. It is a relatively small shape, the parts of which together weigh about 30 kg.
The Tübinger Kugel or the Tübinger Kugelseidel are glass beer mugs . Contrary to what the name suggests, they are not spherical . In the lower part they are decorated and above them there is an undecorated area. The Tübinger Kugel is available in different sizes with a capacity of 0.25 l, 0.3 l, 0.4 l and 0.5 l.
The Tübingen Igel is a thick-walled, spherical beer mug with or without a lid, which was traditionally used primarily by the Igel Academic Student Union and is still used there today.
