In-Depth Information
The local towns have a distinctly German heritage, dating back to 1842. Fleeing reli-
gious persecution in Prussia and Silesia, settlers (bringing their vine cuttings with them)
created a Lutheran heartland where German traditions persist today. The physical rem-
nants of colonisation − gothic church steeples and stone cottages − are everywhere. Cul-
tural legacies of the early days include a dubious passion for oom-pah bands, and an ap-
petite for wurst, pretzels and sauerkraut.
