Your knowledge is mistaken.
The Chasam Sofer was an oberlander however minhag chasam sofer is not the same as minhag Oberland. Additionally the Ehrlau chassidus which follow the Chasasam Sofer is a relatively new chassidus. Before the Ehrlau rebbe (who is a Sofer) founded it they were not chassidish.
Many Oberlanders wear streimels because they became chassidish. This is because the oberlander outlook on life (but not their minhogim) was very similar to chassidus’.
Vein used to be Oberland but became more and more chassidish until they reached the point they are at today.
The real oberland havara is nothing like chasidim. This is also something which many oberlanders picked up as they became more and more chassidish.
I am asking regarding the real original oberland minhogim and not what you see in vien and nitra today.
