Yes. Sectionalism is a big part of German culture. The same thing is true with Italy.
>inb4 "bcuz they were cucked after World War II xD"
It's true in neutral Switzerland as well.

No, there is just a lot of cultural differences in germany, religion, language. History does of course play a large part in it as well, but it isnt just because the HRE looked like a childrens puzzle

Where's Voltaire?

I think the division of Germany between West and East after WW2 probably made a difference too, though there's been a fairly long history of Germany division.

I mean with any country that had periods of division you can kind of see similar things. Southern Chinese have different language patterns, culture, customs and products than Northern Chinese. Britain has that whole English, Welsh, Irish and Scots thing going on, and even lesser shit like Manx is making a comeback. The South (by which I mean the Southeast) US still sort of has a culture distinct from the rest of the US.

HRE was a mess, because of the regionalism. Due to the different tribes and very different dialects it were difficult to unify the people.

We have very strong regionalism going on to the point that people fail to formulate german culture if you'd ask them because they only could define it with foreign stereotypes while being eloquent and giving you a detailed idea of their culture if asked about their city or subregion.

Americanisation is smoothing it out a rapid speed and world war too was a heavy blow too, because of addys centralisation measures and the intermixing of local cultures with east-german refugees who did not share them.

* but its still notable, espeacially on the countryside were the dialects are quiet different:
