    Slovaks cities always had significant German population. Anyway, why would they talk about Austria?

    Well I asked them questons like "Who do you feel closest to?" and "Who is your favorite neighbor?" etc.

    I'm not sure less than 5% of the population is really "significant" as well that Carpathian Germans are different from Austria proper.

    It has nothing to do with historical ties. Slovaks dislike Hungarians the most, but share almost 1000 years of history with them.

    No, maybe Austria but not Germany.

    Austria and Brandenburg (later Brandenburg-Prussia, later just Prussia) were historically German states in East-Central / Eastern Europe.

    They emerged as outposts of Saxons and Bavarians in the East, carved out from Slavic and Baltic territories.

    Mecklenburg also has ties to the east as it never ceased to be ruled by a dynasty of Slavic origin (descended from Obodrite Prince Niklot).

    Sachsen (Upper Saxony) also is an East-Central European country, definitely not a Western European one.
