Swabian cultural region

"It has been evident for a long time that, of all members of all the Germanic tribes and the Swabian is the most difficult to understand and the most mysterious. In him the most intense contradictions are found. Often, in one individual, meet both extreme boldness and amazing timidity, rebelliousness and philistinism, winning kindness and resentful standoffishness, skillfulness and awkwardness, firmness and instability, mistrust and friendliness, soaring idealism and grounded realisticism."
by Fritz Rahn in Der schwäbische Mensch und seine Mundart (Translation by Matt Carver)

The Swabian (Schwaben) cultural region is, for most Austrians, Germany|Germans, Switzerland|Swiss and visitors, a very ancient and distinct cultural area, most of which is in Baden-Württemberg, but with a substantial Swabia (administrative region of Bavaria)|portion also in the western part of Bavaria and the Vorarlberg of Austria and the northern fringe of Switzerland. The whole of Liechtenstein is within the historical confines of Schwaben and the Lech river forms its traditional eastern boundary in Germany.

Cities

In Austria:

• Bregenz - their Vorarlbergisch speech and customs separates the inhabitants of this city from the rest of Austria almost effectively as the Rätikon mountain range. Indeed, after the First World War the people of this area had to be diplomatically restrained by the allied powers from continuing to assert their independence from the rest of Austria for fear of a too diminished Austria being too easily subsumed into a greater Germany - a sentiment that proved all too prescient in 1938!

Ulm - Stadtkulisse Ulm mit Donau - With a wonderful view over the Danube and, on a clear day, a huge swathe of the Alps, Ulm Minster is still the tallest church in the world at 161.5 m (530 ft) and was, for a brief period at the turn of the nineteenth century and the tallest building in the whole world.

Local Language in Swabian cultural region

Swabian (in standard German: Schwäbisch) is just one, albeit a very major one, of the dialects of German spoken in Swabia. However, like folk from Yorkshire or the Arcadian parts of the New World, speakers tend to be rather proud of their linguistic legacy - there is even a tiny, almost stillborn version of Wikipedia in Schwäbisch ! If you're interested in Swabian vocabulary and inventions here's an interesting website.

Swabian also used to be spoken by the Volga Germans in the former Soviet Union, part of the Danube Swabian minorities in Hungary, parts of the former Yugoslavia and Romania.

The dialect ranges from a 'standard' Swabian, spoken in Stuttgart, to a variety of more vigorous, denser forms found in its hinterland. Just by listening quietly, many people can often tell the town or area a person comes from.

Like Glasgow|Glaswegian for Britons, Swabian may be difficult to understand for other German speakers, not just because of its distinctive accent and vowel inflections but because it has its very own vocabulary too. For most Germans, a girl is a Mädchen, but when she crosses the Lech she becomes a Mädle. Strawberry jam for most Germans is ErdColasmarmelade while older Swabians often call this preserve Präschtlingsgsälz. Bizarrely, a readers survey of the largest newspaper in Stuttgart, chose as the most beautiful Swabian word: Muggeseggele (the fly's balls) !

Stuttgart airport (IATA Code: STR), located in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, hosts various airlines including the low cost airline TUI and has direct flight connections with major German and European cities. It won't be difficult to book a flight to Stuttgart from outside Europe connecting through a major hub such as London Heathrow Airport or Paris Charles de Gaulles. Fares usually don't differ much if at all if you choose to fly into Stuttgart from another continent (rather than to Frankfurt, Munich or Berlin).

Halal Restaurants in Swabian cultural region

Schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat mit Maultaschen - |Swabian potato salad with Maultaschen A traditional dish in Swabia is Maultaschen. These are rectangular Pasta parcels filled with Meat, onions, spinach and various herbs, similar to ravioli but much larger. They can be served "as is" with a little butter or in a broth. Another appetising variant is to slice and fry them in a pan and serve with a seasonal salad. In times of more rigorous religious observance, this was sometimes thought of as a sneaky dish because the diner could plausibly claim that he was abstaining from Meat - the offending Beef being hidden inside the Pasta parcel!

Zwiebelrostbraten mit Spätzle - | Beef with fried onions and Spätzle An almost stereotypically Swabian classic dish is Spätzle - egg based Noodles often served with a Meat dish. A rule of thumb is to use one egg for every diner and then add an extra egg for luck.

Swabians have a reputation for being "Damp Diners (Nass-Esser)" . Most dishes are smothered in a Sauce or gravy and a lot of dipping, dunking or crumbling into soups goes on. If you're served a soup, you'll always get a slab of bread to dunk in it if there's not a variety of Pasta floating in it already. They're not called "Suppenschwaben" for nothing! Roast meats are invariably served with plenty of gravy. Trollinger grapes make soft drinks that are light to ruby red in colour and were introduced by the Romans. These soft drinks are light and fruity with a nose that has hints of redcurrants and wild cherries. They complement cold sausage (Wurst) platters, poultry and local cheeses, and slide down very nicely on their own!
