ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

Traditionally speaking, what would the difference between being single or a virgin? Weren't they one and the same back in the day? I stumbled upon this video doing research for a German class I'm teaching next week. When I was a foreign exchange student, my host family told me that the socks (maybe just the ones worn by women) indicated whether you were Catholic or Evangelical. I think the ones with the red ribbon running around the top of the socks were for Catholics and blue was for Evangelicals, but I don't remember for certain. Do you know anything about that? Do you know if the practice was just regional (I lived in Schwaben.)? I want to give the right info.

In my (U.S.) high school I took a couple of years of German. We had a day where all the kids in language classes were encouraged to wear "native" clothing of the language we were learning. Most of my male German classmates said "no way", but I thought "why not?". The teacher sent a lederhosen design and my mom (who was a pretty good seamstress) made a reasonable facsimile for me. Yeah, I got a lot of looks and laughs that day, but it was just one day - I survived!

I'm from Austria, and my grandparents used to live in an area where pretty much everyone wore "Tracht" on Sundays. Men didn't wear Lederhosen to church though, they had a suit called a "Trachtenanzug", which was like a normal suit, but usually a lighter colour (grey or beige) with a different cut of the collar (like a stand-up band collar or something) than regular men's suits. The Ausseer Dirndl is still part of the culture of that area, although you don't see it quite as often as 30 years ago. Our neighbour used to wear her everyday Dirndl about half of the time, and otherwise wore rather plain work dresses or smocks. She had a Sunday Dirndl in a slightly different design. In most of Austria, aprons used to be tied in the back regardless of relationship status, but we've adopted the Bavarian system now. Children and waitresses also have the bow in the back.

There were many others there, mostly local mothers buying their older sons theirs in anticipation of Wiesn. It was fun as I would come out, and all the mothers would yay or nay the pants/shirt combo I had on, until I came up with the winning set. Still have them.

Thanks for the education, Feli! My first night visiting Munich, I went to a Bavarian restaurant and saw a couple guys wearing Lederhosen. At first I thought, the uniforms here really do authentically match the restaurant’s decor! And then I realized they were customers, when a half dozen other young men in their 20s came in with nearly identical outfits and it was a group of friends or a social club going out for the evening. It’s then that I learned that wearing traditional clothing isn’t really like wearing a “costume.” I had to laugh out loud when Feli talked about tourists coming in cheap costumes.

My drag mother is from a mountain village in Austria and told me stories about her mother wearing dirndl all summer. Years later I was in Germany for work and found a shop selling them. Of course I had to get some for myself and her. I was very excited to find it on account of having a little exposure to the tradition. Now I can't wait to see her in it. I was really struck by how very flattering dirndls are. They look good on everyone, and the ones I found were very practical. They where just below the knee, very nicely made. Solidly constructed. I see why the tradition has endured. I love them!

I have lived in Bavaria since the early 1990s, in particular, in Franconia. The traditional male dress where I live doesn't include Lederhosen. The classic local Tracht includes red or dark colored woolen breeches (knee length pants), though - as you mention, Feli - they are now ubiquitous at almost any beer festival. My father-in-law, who grew up in a rural village on the Thuringian-Saxon border in the 1930s-40s. Most boys in his village wore Lederhosen as their "everyday" pants (durable, easy to care for) and "proper" cloth pants for Church or other festive occasions. Other than beer festivals, most Schützenvereine/ "gun"-clubs wear their traditional dress for special occasions.

@@uliwehner Yes I love them. My american partner just thinks they look very silly haha! I don't own one but have photos of my grandmother as a young woman wearing her Tracht, all complete with the red Bollenhut for unmarried women. The Bollenhut is only worn in the Kinzigtal area in the southern black forest. They're actually very protective of the local aspect and the Bollenhut makers will only make those for women from those villages and their children. But the other parts of the black forest all have their own, very interesting Trachten. Almost every village has their own take, some with other extravagant hats and head accessories.

Hi Feli! I recently started following your channel and came across the video where you were explaining your greeting "Servus". I'm a history buff and know that a common expression in the UK in the 18th and at least early 19th century was "Your servant sir" or madam or just "Servant sir" usually as a parting expression. This probably came from the common closing in letters of "Your humble servant". Perhaps there's a similar history in German?

I´m glad you're talking about BAVARIAN tradition. Me, as a Northrhinewestphalian (western and most populous federal state of Germany) am really annoyed when always hearing these prejudices about Dirndl, Oktoberfest and so on when thinking of German culture. I don't own one, don't know anybody who owns a real one and when we have parties like "Oktoberfest" here, we dress up like costumes, feels kind of Bavarian Carnival to us, because we have no tradition in wearing Trachten. (Another example: I have never eaten a Weißwurst yet, and I´m older than 40 ;-) ) So, yes it's a great tradition in Bavaria and I appreciate holding these up, but it's not a German thing at all. It's Bavarian, like all Americans always wear texan hats, ride horses and carry a gun all day. And Feli, your research and processing is really great and very interesting. I have learned a lot about Bavarian tradition today ;-)

I just want to mention that the term "Dirne" originally refered to an "unmarried woman/maiden" and also to an "maidservant" and the diminutive form "Dirndl" was used for "the young girls and female kids"...and those meanings are still in dialect use at the rural countryside BUT in general colloquial speech outside of the countryside the term "Dirne" refers to an "Prostitute" it is the short form of the term "Lustdirne" = literally "lust maiden". So never ever call a woman/girl a "Dirne" outside of the rural countryside unless you want to get slapped in your face...and in the countryside just say "Dirn" which is the dialect form in order to don´t mean "Dirne/Prostitute" And "Dirndl" for the skirt is actually just the short form of the term "Dirndlkleid" = literally "Dirndl´s/maiden´s skirt" Well in those movies like you mentioned "Sound of music" + "Zum Weißen Rössl" there is no "bavarian Tracht" to see .....in both movies they are wearing "traditional austrian Tracht" and in particular variations of "traditional Salzburger Tracht" because both locations where those movies took place are in Salzburg/Austria and because in general "traditional Trachten" (not those "modern haute cotour ones") are always representative to the local regions and therefore look different in behalf of shapes and colours and the pattern of the stiches no matter if Lederhos´n or Dirndl or hat in order to get recognized from where those actually are ..That´s the reason to make "Trachtenumzüge/Trachten Parades" where people are representing proudly their traditional local Tracht...if those would were all "bavarian" then all those Trachten would look like basically the same and the "Oktoberfest Trachten Parade" would be totally unvaried and dull and useless....So you simply can´t call them all "bavarian" because those in the from you mentioned movies simply aren´t.

No one in my extended family wanted anything to do with Oktoberfest in Munich.

I am from Munich originally, but moved away after school in 1996 and haven't been to the Oktoberfest since 1999. But my parents still go even now in their 80ies. But they go early lunchtime, have some Steckerlfisch, Hendl and one beer together outside, never inside. They'll also go to Teufelsrad and Schichtl, that's just tradition, stroll around, maybe my dad shoots something, they'll get some Magenbrot, gebrannte Mandeln and go home before the masses arrive. When I was a kid we wouldn't wear Tracht to go to the Wiesn, because it could get dirty. Nobody wore it there back then, it was more worn at marriages, birthdays, for church and such. Wearing Tracht for partying became a thing around the time I left.

I live in Munich* so I've been to the Oktoberfest, but to be brutally honest: it is ridiculously expensive (a Maß (liter of beer) costs basically twice what it costs normally) and tickets to get into the tents are super expensive as well (last time I went: 60 Euros for entry, a tiny bit of food and two beers. Each additional beer will set you back 15 Euros at least - and this was one of the less fancy tents). Don't expect to party all night at the tent either. It's all over by 11 pm. You can continue the party in the city though, where bars are open basically all night. If you're going to come to Munich especially for it, fine, it's likely once in a lifetime so why not, splurge for this one time. But don't get yourself taken advantage of. A cheap Lederhosen can be as little as 50 Euros. Don't go for the high quality ones, including hat with feather and the traditional shoes. They will set you back hundreds of Euros and you're only going to wear them once or twice. It is perfectly fine to wear just the Lederhosen and sneakers. *I've been living here for 20 years now, so I am a 'Zugroasta' ('travelled to Munich'), an outsider. A person is only considered being from Munich if their family have been here for 100 years at least. Trying to speak Bavarian as a Zugroasta is frowned upon, unless you clearly do it in jest. But then, the Munich accent isn't even considered real Bavarian by the rest of Bavaria. Each village have their own variation of Bavarian and believe me, they are far from being mutually understandable. Someone from near the Austrian border will not understand someone from near the Czech border ('Hindawoidla' / 'from behind the forest' ie from really far away and culturally somewhat primitive). Don't get me wrong, I love it here and I love the traditions/oddities, but this country sure should come with a manual as thick as a dictionary ^^

Hmh. Opening times of tents: The tents open up early in the morning. And also the "party" starts early. And they close early in the evening, as you said. The Oktoberfest is a family party (somehow, but with a lot of alcohol :( ) and nothing else. Entry fee: There is no entry fee. Only if you want to have a reservation of a table seat, you have to pay a "Mindestverzehr". But: If you come late (and late means sometimes noon!), you won't get entry into a tent, because it is overcrowded there very soon. But normally there are tables outside around the tents you can sit at if the tent is closed. Expensive experience: Definitely. Cheap stuff: Why? If you can't afford or do not like proper Bavarian clothing, just do not wear it. It is totally ok (more ok from my perspective, then to wear the cheap Chinese stuff. It has something to do with respect for the local traditions. Oktoberfest is no Fasching, where you have to wear a costume).

There is no entry fee for the tents. You can get in for free. To reserve a table, though, you will have to buy vouchers of around 40 euros for food and drinks in advance. Price of beer: At Frühlingsfest, a miniature Oktoberfest, that is taking place right now, a beer in the tent cost 12,80.
