Seems to be some controversy whether lederhosen are stricly Bavarian, or southern German in general. Being of Swabian decent, I've pretty much considered them part of my culture. Am I correct?
I'd suppose. From what I've read they're almost entirely Alpine (Austria, Southern Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Tirol). Then again, if you like them, just go with them.
@@LNER4771 I agree to some extent. They don't seem as popular in Switzerland from what I've seen. What about the French Alps? Seems the further east, the more common. Culture doesn't always divide at political boundaries, though. Like many German Americans, I always thought of Bavarian culture as German culture overall. I always identified with it as someone with German roots. My ancestors were from Southern Germany, but not necessarily from Bavaria, even though parts of Swabia(my ancestry) lie in modern day Bavaria. It's all very interesting and recently I've had an interest in discovering my roots. Thanks for the awesome video, it was very informative.
franconian here. they do but they’re rarely actual folk clothing, real traditional clothing is pretty expensive. ppl wear it at “kärwas” for example… big celebrations only used to drink honestly. very few ppl take it seriously
I absolutely love this and it really helped in my research, thank you so much! You should make more of these!!
The Black Forest is a mix of Catholic and Protestant. The ladies wearing the Bollenhut shown would historically be from Protestant villages
Thanks for sharing. Always great to learn more about this topic.
Verry intresting. I'm writting a book in a dystopian 19th century and most of the information available on clothing from that time is from England.
Thank you so much for this video!!Would Northrein Westphalia be the same as Bremen / Niedersachsen?
Why are you talking about German cloth and showing a Norwegian painting "brudeferd i hardanger" just wonder.
Lederhosen sounds like lee-derhosen

Do the people still wear those kind of clothing? If not then how would you like to bring those back?
