And if you can’t click the link, here’s the answer:
12:00: Fish lovers who speak like pirates and are introvert and warm.
1:00: Quiet dwellers of a magical, Baltic area that could easily be a part of Sweden.
2:00: Berlin – empire of kebabs and a generally likable side of Germany that is world open and has plenty of spy novel vibes.
3:00: the deep East; a strange part of the country that feels distinctly foreign to us Wessies, but it offers stunningly pretty old villages and amazing highways.
4:00: even deeper East; gorgeous old cities, but unfortunately, we can’t understand what people are saying, and they can be a bit odd. DDR nostalgia is rampant here.
5:00: the hillbilly part of Bavaria; be prepared to attend Catholic mass regularly, sit on roughly hewn furniture, eat Schweinshaxn, and drink bucket sized vessels of beer. It’s basically rural Austria, extended. I’m from here, but please tell no one.
6:00: the refined part of Bavaria. As the 5:00 scenario, but with more Range Rovers, Gucci stuff, and private jets. BMWs and Audis come from here.
7:00: Where Mercedes and Porsche come from. Funny speaking people with a fixation on real estate who could actually be Swiss.
8:00: Wine country. Everybody speaks and acts a bit as if they’ve had a bit too much of it already, any time of day, and the German carnival scene originates here. A bit too loud and happy for my taste, and strongly reminiscent of the Alsace region in France.
9:00: The “Manchester” of Germany. A region undermined by centuries of coal mining, with lovely people I get on with famously. Humble, witty, and warm. A bit grey and soot coated around the corners, but easy to like.
10:00: a continuation of the 9:00 scenario, but greener, with more horses.
11:00: even greener, with even more horses, as well as thatched cottages. Also, nice black tea with cream and kluntjes. And a downright Scandinavian curtness.
What this shows best is that Germans really don’t have a good sense of humour most of the time.
And as always, the centre is completey forgotten.

I miss Südbaden.

However, the Quora-OP missed Franconia, which I find to be troublesome.
