This blog collects notes from Höfen, a small village in Southern Germany, where Kathrin from public works was living and working for a year.

traditional or so costumes


I wasn't aware that traditional costumes are big in fashion in Frankonia now. Because locally there is no recent tradition of wearing costumes, and "Lederhosen" and "Dirndl" are imported from Bavaria, and come along with a  growing general appreciation of "Country Style" living in the countryside. Good to see that the brass band from Ebing sticks to the late 20th century tradition of wearing denim and T-Shirt. Levi Strauss is from Buttenheim in Frankonia, about 15 miles from here - on the local-global connection.
