While the other part, Württemberg, is also the home of the German tribe called Schwaben. The Schwaben,... There are a lot of jokes about them... In the Wikipedia one can read: In the past, Swabians were the target of many jokes and stories where they are depicted as excessively stingy, overly serious, prudish, or as simpletons... :-) More seriously, there are indeed some cultural differences, in the Region they sometimes say if somebody from Baden is in a Bistro in France, one cant say that he is not French, while this is not the case for the Schwaben. And in fact while large parts of Baden belonged for a long time to Austria(They were even core parts of Austria), Schwaben was often much closer to Northern Germany and even PRUSSIA.
