Thank you! Even though my family moved to Swabia in Southern Germany, Stuttgart is culturally quite different from the more traditional Black Forest or Schwäbsche Alb, let alone the Subalpine region around the Bodensee. (I bet the Krampus is still more present in those parts.) Those are mountain cultures, they would explain, and in the urban culture of the city it doesn't really matter which part of the country you're in.
