Yeah.

Justin SledgeHOST
Can we imagine what the locals thought, this guy moving up to the highlands to do this ritual? And you have the same thing sometimes with, I think, Heidegger.
Justin SledgeHOST
Martin Heidegger famously also would adopt this Swabian accent and dress like a sort of a German peasant and things like this.
Justin SledgeHOST
One wondered what the German peasants thought about this.
Justin SledgeHOST
oh my god it's a it's a funny yeah um if you don't have a flair for the dramatic then you really can't really get involved too much with uh you know hermetic magic and stuff i feel like those two things have to go hand in hand at some level
PeterGUEST
And then in terms of who I am, I myself was born in Kaiserslautern in the shadow of the sacred Betzenberg, so I identify personally as a Pfälzer.
PeterGUEST
However, my German father is very much of Swabian stock, and it gets a little bit murky once you get here into Karlsruhe, because Karlsruhe is considered Baden, whereas Stuttgart is considered more Wettenberg.
PeterGUEST
But there's plenty of Swabian overlap along both places.
PeterGUEST
I myself do enjoy plenty of .
PeterGUEST
And although I drive a BMW here in Germany, my American car is a Benz.

And on the flip side, Heidenheim has our number.
TravisHOST
I don't know what it is.
TravisHOST
They're our younger, cuter Swabian brothers.
Thomas777GUEST
This was not like a minor thing, but there, it was despite the regional attachments of Germans.
Thomas777GUEST
And despite, you know, the kind of several populations who are, um, possessed of discrete cultural forms, you know, like a Swabian is not a Prussian is not a Bavarian, but there is like a German identity, like a Deutsch, like racial identity, if you will, there is not a British race.
Thomas777GUEST
Okay.
Thomas777GUEST
There's constituent elements of great Britain, but I, nobody would argue to the contrary.
ThomasGUEST
Now, granted, and yes, Germany's about one-third Roman Catholic, but...
ThomasGUEST
Bismarck's Kulturkampf was tremendously effective in basically rendering the German state and the civil service that constituted that state at a level of executive enforcement, the same thing as decision-making, and become very protestant by design and also sectarian challenges aside and i i don't minimize those i mean germany was literally ground zero of the 30 years war okay this was not like a minor thing but there it was despite the regional attachments of germans and despite you know the kind of several populations who are um possessed of discrete cultural forms, you know, like a Swabian is not a Prussian is not a Bavarian, but there is like a German identity, like a Deutsch, like racial identity, if you will, that is not a British race.
ThomasGUEST
Okay.
ThomasGUEST
There's constituent elements of great Britain, but I, nobody would argue to the contrary.

Thence the eye follows the more and more vanishing chain of the Vosges towards the south.
speaker_8NARRATOR
If you turn to the north-east you see the castle of Lichtenberg upon a rock, and towards the south-east the eye has the boundless plain of Alsace to scrutinise, which afar off withdraws itself from the sight in the more and more misty landscape, until at last the Swabian mountains melt away like shadows into the horizon.
speaker_8NARRATOR
Already in my limited wanderings through the world I had remarked how important it is in travelling to inquire after the course of the waters, and even to ask with respect to the smallest brook whither in reality it runs.
speaker_8NARRATOR
One thus acquires a general survey of every stream region in which one happens to be, a conception of the heights and depths which bear relation to each other, and by these leading lines which assist the contemplation as well as the memory extricates oneself in the surest manner from the geological and political labyrinth.

Karina MarkosNARRATOR
The lords of the earth are such, principally because they can assemble around them, in war, the bravest and most resolute, and in peace, the wisest and most just.
Karina MarkosNARRATOR
Even to the state of a German emperor belonged a court of this kind, which always accompanied him in his expeditions through the empire.
Karina MarkosNARRATOR
But neither this precaution, nor the Swabian law, which prevailed in the south of Germany, nor the Saxon law, which prevailed in the north, neither the judges appointed to maintain them, nor the decisions of the peers of the contending parties, neither the umpires recognised by agreement, nor friendly compacts instituted by the clergy, nothing, in short, could quiet that excited chivalric spirit of feuds which had been roused, fostered, and made a custom among the Germans, by internal discord, by foreign campaigns, by the Crusades especially, and even by judicial usages.
Karina MarkosNARRATOR
To the emperor, as well as to the powerful estates, these squabbles were extremely annoying, while through them the less powerful became troublesome to each other, and if they combined, to the great also.
Winston SterzelHOST
