I think one of the neat things about it are the nipple covers. They are just about watertight. I delight in asking my friends to figure out how to activate the release to swivel the barrels. Following Kutter's lead I looked at Weyerburg in Austria. Then I looked closer at the town name on the barrel and noticed the period after the name which I am pretty sure indicates a contraction. When I checked google maps for Weyerburgstrasse I came up with a street in Sinzig Germany. Nothing definite yet. thanks, Larry
