The word Stein is a short form of the German word Steinzeugkrug which means stoneware jug or tankard. In common language, Stein generally means a beer container.

Starting from 1340 till 1380, it was a phase of bubonic plague or Black Death in which more than 25 million people were killed. It emerged as such a horrible and terrible historic event which gives rise to civilization.

When talking more tactfully, then mug is said to be the containers which do not have any kind of lids on them, while the Steins have hinged lids attached to them. After the phase of fatal plague ended, these mugs were modified and then made with the attached hinged lid which came as a very important precautionary measure. The cover was there to prevent any kind of insect from falling into the beer.

In early times, several laws were made and enforced also as a result of fears about a return of the Black Death. It was later known that most of the people died who lived in filthy areas rather than people who lived in clean areas. It indicated that Plague spread across so vigorously only due to lack of sanitation and sanitary surroundings.
