Bavarians
Munich's fellow citizens
Bavarians are people from Bavaria, the largest state in southeastern Germany.
The term encompasses both native inhabitants and those who identify with Bavarian culture—known for its distinctive traditions, dialects, and Catholic heritage.
Bavarians are stereotypically associated with lederhosen, beer halls, and Oktoberfest: The Bavarians take their brewing traditions seriously.
