Emperors and nobles held court and received their foreign guests with splendid display and hospitality. Poets and singers were welcomed, and the chivalric literature was soon taken up by the Suabian minstrels who became known as the Minnesingers. From 1150 to 1300 was the golden age of Suabian literature and German chivalry.
The second half of the eleventh century is remarkable for the speculative acumen displayed by lay and secular lords in fostering the development of new commercial centres; the Norman bourg of Breteuil, founded in 1060 by a seneschal of William the Conqueror, deserves special consideration as a model extensively imitated in England, Wales, and Ireland; the Suabian towns of Allensbach and Radolfszell, chartered by the great Abbey of Reichenau a few years later, are monuments of German seignorial enterprise.
The Austrians called the Swiss, in derision, Kühmelkers a term more opprobrious than bouviers; and it is said that, after the battle of Frastens one of the battles of the Suabian war, a Frenchman threw himself at the feet of some Grisons soldiers, and innocently prayed thus for quarter; 'Très-chers, très-honorables, et très-dignes Kühmelkers! au nom de Dieu, ne me tuez pas!

Wherever they stopped, whatever they did before reaching Vienna, Colonel Kenton chose to preserve his guarded attitude. "Ah, they pretend this is Stuttgart, do they?" he said on arriving at the Suabian capital. "A likely story! They pretended that was the Black Forest, you know, Bessie." At Munich, "And this is Munich!" he sneered, whenever the conversation flagged during their sojourn.
Nothing particular occurred, either by way of anecdote or of scenery, till within almost the immediate approach or descent to that city the last in the Suabian territories, and which is separated from Bavaria by the River Danube.
The term shows that he is felt to have something of completion, of inner perfection, of harmony of form and content which was lacking in the truer Romanticists. Uhland was without their early cosmopolitanism. Political life as manifested in him was, first of all, Suabian for Uhland was a Suabian and most intimately associated with that section of Germany.
Among his published works are a Life of Melanchthon, Meditations on the Beatitudes and Explanations of Luther's Catechism. Julius Ehrhardt was an unassuming, lovable and scholarly Suabian.
