I come from the very top of the northwest directly from the North Sea coast, my mother moved to Bavaria over 10 years ago, right in the southeast almost on the Austrian border and the differences are really clear. As long as no one speaks hardcore Bavarian dialect to me at breakneck speed, I understand people well, people are more open and small talk is more common (which I always find exhausting, haha! ), the eating habits are sometimes very different (for example potato salad - in the north with mayonnaise, in the south with vinegar and oil, less fish in the south and more meat in the south) and the weather is also different (in the north warmer winters and cooler summers, at 37°C without wind in Bavaria I felt like I was about to die of heat exhaustion, because here on the coast it very rarely gets above 30°C and we almost always have wind, in the south there is panic above 75 kph gusts of wind and call it "storm" and here in the north some people still ride their bikes in 90 kph gusts of wind and below 110 kph no one worries at all) . ... yet we are one people, one country and I absolutely love this diversity!
#Cashless paying How do you pay, if the battery or the network is down? Cash don't need electricity and is not watching your consumerism and digital paying often comes with charges/fees, either for the retailer (which why some small businesses prefer cash to get more nettled) or the consumer or even both. By the way if don't have cash anymore in your wallet, you cannot spend more, then you have (debt avoiding benefit and automatically being more aware of the daily outgoing) and don't causes interest paid on overdraft and decrease impulse/unpremeditated buying.
I can well understand your points, but I would argue that if the network or electricity fails, many people with cash quickly reach their limits because the ATMs cannot dispense money either and bank employees often cannot get to the cash immediately because every cash withdrawal from the bank counter must also be recorded digitally and many vaults are electrically secured and if it is then made possible, anyone can also get cash. Even if I pay digitally, I always have a low three-digit amount of money in cash at home for emergencies. With digital payments, I can see the impact on my bank account in real time and therefore I still have a perfect overview and I know my account balance every day and you could shoo me out of bed at three o'clock in the morning with a fanfare and I could instantly tell you how high my account balance is and which transactions are still to be debited this month. But this also requires a certain level of financial literacy, which unfortunately not everyone learns or acquires. My parents drilled it into me from an early age, I got my first bank account with my own debit card at the age of 10 and was responsible for handling my pocket money myself and sometimes learned financial consequences the hard way 😁
I was born and grown up at the coast. Bremerhaven. A ship building city with rough weather and flat landscape. People eat fish and have nothing to do with "the" bavarians, saxons, swabians, berliners, and others. Yes, patchwork culture 🎉
Rock formations - Elbsandsteingebirge Sachsen. Chash only - Afraid of robberies or pickpocketing? You dont have to carry the national debt of Azerbaijan with you. There is an ATM on every corner where you can withdraw cash. I never carry more than 50 or 100 euros with me. And for robbery you get 1-15 years in prison.

‚at the moment the rail network‘ yes - the last 30 years 😂😂😂
If I remember right, since the rail-company got privatized aka no more state-runned.

Sometimes I dress like a Viking! 🙂 - ...at medieval festivals... 😀
“As punctual as the train!”, this saying was probably still true in the 1950s/60s.

"I never carry more than 50 or 100 euros with me."
