Die Rhöner Säuwäntzt

The expression Säuwäntzt means pork belly and refers also to untidy or unruly children and youth.

The band members present themselves in hillbilly costumes, with corduroy trousers, braces and wooden shoes, and the acts include story telling and musical comedy on stage.

[6] Contributions to major festivals include among others Internationales Tanz und Folkfest Rudolstadt, Bardentreffen Nuremberg and the international street musician competition in Osnabrück.

The band's lyrics involve more or less burlesque and serious aspects of life and work in the countryside, some ribaldry, bumpkin blues and horseplay included.

[9] The song is referring to negative impacts of a specific wind power project in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve.
