Hillu's Herzdropfa "Ächde Älbler" - Mundart-Tage 2026

For Hillu's Herzdropfa, the simple formula by Thaddäus Troll says it all: "A Swabian is whoever speaks Swabian."

Our Schwobaländle is not one of the federal states drawn up by politicians - it is a "cultural space", a region where people share a common culture.

That includes Swabian thriftiness: "Rub the salt off the pretzel so your guest doesn't get thirsty!" And of course Spätzle: "Cheese Spätzle, cabbage Spätzle, lentils with Spätzle, potato Spätzle, Spätzle with sauce...". Maultaschen are a must on every Swabian menu: pan-fried, in broth, with egg... and even VEGAN (some people are up for anything). Wash it down with a glass of Moscht: "Good Moscht cures every pain, it is the Swabian's pearl. Wine gladdens the heart of man, Moscht gladdens the whole fellow!"

What else makes a true Älbler, you'll find out in this show! Hillu's Herzdropfa (genuine Älblers themselves) know everything about these highlanders and what else goes on up on the Alb. Speaking in dialect is a point of honour for Hillu's Herzdropfa.
