What Is German Tracht

Tracht (German pronunciation: [ˈtʁaxt]) refers to traditional garments in German-speaking countries and regions.

Why do Germans wear dirndls?

German traditional costume, including the dirndl, was instrumentalized by the Nazis as a symbol of pan-German identity in the countries under Nazi rule (Germany from 1933, Austria from 1938). The dirndl was used to promote the Nazi ideal of the German woman as hard-working and fertile.

What are those German clothes called?

German traditional attire is generally considered to be the Dirndl for the ladies and Lederhosen for the gents. It is certainly more common in the South, especially popular in Bavaria, but in lieu of any wildly famous Northern German garments, it has become the symbol of old-school German threads.
