Talk:Tracht

Not only austrian, bavarian

Tracht means the historical dresses of the different tribes (inside germany/austria/europe). not only bavarians have Tracht. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.163.127.66 (talk) 18:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Very true, I put something in, but there is tons more to be said. 76.97.245.5 (talk) 00:58, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

It should be mentioned that that what is known as "typical" German clothing is just the Bavarian Tracht (although there are many more Trachten in that area) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.222.252.241 (talk) 22:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

§Other uses said

So "Tracht" can refer to the clothes which are worn, but e.g. also simply to a load, which is carried (until today within beekeepers' business referring to the load of honey carried in by the bees)

The highlighted phrase is unidiomatic and unclear. I've changed it to what I think was meant:

… still used by beekeepers, …

definition

The german word Tracht is always used as to be the folk costume of any ethnicity. It is not the special term for german folk costume at all. Etymologywise it goes back to "tragen" (to carry something) and is used metaphorically still in the saying "eine Tracht Prügel verabreichen" (to beat someone thoroughly - i.e. to cover the victims body with haematoms and other beating marks). A pregnant animal is "trächtig" (it carries unborn offspring) but a pregnant woman is "schwanger" (an euphemistic espression for the hindered way off walking and the roundness of the womans silouhette). If someone in Germany says he saw people wearing a "Tracht", he would have to say what kind of people that were - Herero, Inuit or Vietnamese?--85.180.238.108 (talk) 04:26, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Major alpine costumes of Bavaria

This is knitpicking, but the six major mountain costumes listed for Bavaria should specify Old Bavaria (Alt Bayern). There are four major mountain costumes of greater Bavaria: Miesbacher, chiemgauer, werdenfelser, allgäu. 2601:581:4500:6A6A:C0B7:8D72:30A0:F071 (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
