While I was working in Ontario, Canada, outside a window of a hotel I was staying at was an old barn.  The attached poster was glued to the side of the barn.  The quality of the picture is bad as I took it from a distance.  The place didn't look very hospitable.  Anyway, the text (I believe) is, "An alle, die schuchlem sind".  Google translate:  To everyone who is schuchlem.

I have 0 results in google on what the word schuchlem is.  Anyone on here know by chance?

I know this is quite an old poster, so if the unknown word is offensive in any way, then I apologize in advance.  I truly do not know what the word is.

Thanks!

Oh, I bet my friend had a t-shirt with a similar print. I'm not really sure where he bought it, and he might have just made it himself or ordered it on Printful, idk. But I've definitely seen this poster somewhere, even though I was never in Germany. So if someone tells me where it's from to satisfy my curiosity, I'll be grateful!
