The choice of Lothar of Supplinburg by Emperor Henry V to succeed as duke of Saxony after the extinction of the Billung family in the male line in 1106 marked a turning point in Saxon history.

Wilhelm: “We thought this was the best place for a meeting.”

Ludwig: “WELL IT’S NOT!”

Franz: “Too bad, we planend on staying here. With the self isolating thing and all.”

Ludwig: “THIS IS NOT WHAT QUARANTINE IS ABOUT!!”

Southern German States Event start!

Yes only the southern states, because I haven#t developed the others ones yet and Ludwig represents the south. Here’s a guide, from left to right:

Saarland - Anna Scholz Thüringen/Thuringia - Mathilda Hahn Rheinland-Pfalz/Rhineland-Palatinate - Karl Richter  Bavaria - Franz Seidel  Württemberg - Wilhelm Kramer  Baden - Eva Kramer Hessen - Rainer Kranz (in the red hoodie) Westfalen/Westphalia - Kathrin Lehmann Sachsen/Saxony- Erich Wolff 

Go ahead and ask them questions!

Modern German state meetings

((So while talking with mun of @ask18thcenturygilbert about German states, we figured that modern meetings between them would basically be like world meetings but then probably worse, because they know each other very well for centuries already. 

Bavaria would be the one that comes up with the crazy ideas that nobody agrees to 

If Prussia would still be a state, he’d get in a fight with Bavaria every time (like France and England). Maybe he can be replaced by Württemberg, I heard that swabians don’t like bavarians either. They’re not allowed anymore to sit next to each other. 

Hamburg and Bremen would be the ones that comes up with the financial things and trade (cause of the Hanse)

Baden has the liberal ideas probably 

Saxony, for some reason, would be the patient and passive-aggressive one

I see Schleswig-Holstein eating their Fischbrötchen in silence 

and tbh Saarland would be the Canada of the group, because I keep forgetting that one

Also those personifications that form one state, like Baden-Württemberg, would definitely team up in a discussion (or fight), because you know, they probably learnt to stick together. 

I have no idea what the others would do, please share your thoughts! 

And they’d maybe just use Ludwig’s house as a meeting place every know and then, which will end up in him coming home after a tiresome world meeting and then he got this family chaos inside his house. It just seems very amusing.))
