Hillu's Herzdropfa - "Ächde Älbler"

Hiltrud Stoll and Franz Auber, familiar faces from radio and TV, are touring Swabia with their new show "Ächde Älbler" (True Swabian Highlanders).

True Swabian Highlanders live very close to heaven! Hillu's Herzdropfa follows the simple formula of Thaddäus Troll: "A Swabian is whoever speaks Swabian". The Swabian homeland is not one of the federal states drawn up by politicians - it is a "cultural space", a region where people share a common culture:

- Swabian thriftiness: rub the pretzel with salt so the guest doesn't get thirsty!
- And of course Spätzle: with cheese, with sauerkraut, with lentils, with potatoes, with sauce...
- Maultaschen are a must on every Swabian menu: pan-fried, in broth, with egg... and even VEGAN (nothing shocks anyone)
- Plus a glass of cider: "Good cider cures every pain, it is the Swabian's pearl. Wine gladdens the human heart, cider gladdens the whole man!" (source unknown)

What else makes a true Älbler, you'll find out in this show! Hillu's Herzdropfa (genuine Älbler themselves) know everything about these highlanders and what else goes on up on the Alb. Speaking dialect is a point of honour for them. A small taste of their Swabian Alb dialect: Zirengga? Schdriggjäggle? Aurawai? Soidawieschd?
