Some other things that yekke’s do is by the chuppah they are not facing the people and have a tallis on top of them. Some wash before kiddiush, wait 3 hrs, boy at 3 years old brings a wimpel a clothe that gets wrapped around the sefer torah and is designed with the childs name and things.
Most old time yekke’s who live in a yekkish area are generally proud of their roots.
Yekkes are spread out all over but most people just dont know who in their area is yekkish, theirs switzerland, washington heights, and other areas that have a great yekkish population.
