German Regional Stereotypes

[Gwydion]

What are some regional stereotypes among Germans about other Germans? For example are there any popular stereotypes about Saxons, Bavarians, Swabians, etc.? How do the different German groups see each other?

I am interested in general but specifically I wonder what are the stereotypes or popular images of my own German ancestral areas, namely the Rhineland and Franconia?

As a sub-question, how do the Germans view the Dutch (related since they were a Germanic people under the German Holy Roman Empire, etc.)?

In short, discuss German regional differences, relations, and stereotypes.

The Dutch are just retarded Germans. Hope this helps.

[Teutone]

Eastern Germans get the stereotype to be poor and dumb

Northern Germans just dumb

Swabians are greedy

and Bavarians do incest

Bavaria is like the American South , in that it is most friendly. But instead of being Protestant, it is Catholic. Northern Germans are rude and aloof.
My sister had her luggage kicked at a German airport once by an angry Berliner.
