You can tell it’s the ursprünglich Altona because of the walrusy, Bismarck mustaches on the centaurs. Heavy mustaches have been de rigeur for Gauls and Teutons since the BC era; Diodorus Siculus notes with a refined shudder that the northern barbarians practically strain their drinks through their mustaches.
