Origin
The origin of the "Schäffler Wirt" name
"Schäffler" is the old name for a barrelmaker in Bavarian dialect. There are quite a few other German words for this occupation too. Johann Weiß also acquired this skill at the end of the 19th century. As well as barrelmaker, he was also a farmer and inn keeper and therefore very well known in Aschheim and the surrounding area.
