Hi Joachim,
I'm one of the more or less hiding germans on the list. I would say that 
I'm also a 100% swabian, which is a "tribe" of people living in the south 
of germany where all the good wheat beer comes from. They usually don't 
like to get mixed up with bavarians and people often associate with them 
some of the same properties as associated to people from Scotland :)
