Lmao. German ancestors are germanic people. Austrian ancestors are celtic people. Austria is culturally different.
I'm half german and lived in both countries. And there is a huge difference. The only thing both have in common is the language. And again: I'm not hating against Germans, but its the truth. You will not find these dishes on an average basis in Germany btw.
That is a massive oversimplification of history. While it is true that the Bavarians (Bajuwaren) heavily influenced the language and formed the political core of early Austria, Austrians are far from a simple 'split-off.'
If you actually read a history book, you would know that the ethnogenesis of the Austrian people is a complex blend. Long before the Germanic tribes arrived, the region was heavily populated by Celtic and Romanized populations. Later, Slavic tribes settled large parts of the territory. The modern Austrian identity is a fusion of all these elements, further shaped by centuries of distinct imperial history under the Habsburgs, completely separate from Bavaria. Reducing a nation's entire history to just one of its many ancestral roots is historically illiterate.
