PS: The Gaisburger March was created on the basis of a historical event. At the time, relatives had to feed their imprisoned family members themselves. But the food was only allowed to go to jail in a single vessel. Resourceful Swabian housewives made a virtue out of necessity and put meat, potatoes, spaetzle and vegetables in a pot.
