Almost everything!  At least it may seem that way at first. If you've visited the various dvhh.org regional sections you may be familiar with some of these articles and stories; - which many refer to a particular village or to a specific region, but everyday lifestyles were similar throughout the different Danube Swabian settlement regions. The collection shown here is a compilation of content for the benefit of those who otherwise may not have found it while visiting the dvhh.org various sites.  Please enjoy. If you have something to contribute or if we have overlooked an item found elsewhere on the DVHH that would be appropriately added to this collection, please submit it to the DVHH Editors.
