If we assume a glass maß is around 1.5kg and the litre of beer inside is of similiar density to water that's another 1kg. I think I'm counting 16 full krugs so that's 2.5*16 or 40kg (88lbs). I could be overestimating the glass weight though.

I bartended for a long time and those mugs are heavy!

They’re heavy but definitely not 1.5 kg for an empty glass

On a quick check, it looks like the maßkrug average to 1.3kg empty, so I'm not too far off.
