Here are two other versions of the quote;

"Every street boy in Gottingen knows as much elliptical geometry as
Einstein. But the equations are his."

 "Every boy in the streets of Gottingen understands more about
four-dimensional geometry than Einstein. Yet, in spite of that, Einstein
did the work and not the mathematicians." — David Hilbert

There is only one way to interpret this. That is Hilbert pointing out
that obviously Einstein did not invent the field equations because he
could not.
