Amidst the tumult of the German Occupation of Lille in 1914, a quiet tribute to Saint Rupert of Salzburg stood firm. His image, depicted in the cardboard windows of the Chapel of St. Ferdinand in 1842, remained a beacon of faith amidst the chaos of war. In the midst of it all, two 1 litre Imperial German stoneware biersteins, bearing the insignia of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, stood as symbols of resilience and tradition. As the war drew to a close in 1919, Crown Prince Rupprecht, a respected military leader, was seen in portraits alongside General Krafft, a testament to their shared commitment to their country. Through the trials and tribulations of war, the legacy of Saint Rupert and the determination of Crown Prince Rupprecht endured.
