I saw [a tweet](https://twitter.com/danalkay/status/1614921466897735681) that said “Jeder Schwabe, immer.” above a picture of “Spare”, the biography of prince Harry. Is being “Sparsam” a specific trade of the Schwabia? What other stereotypes does the rest of Germany have about this region?
​
Stereotypes are not necessarily true of course, but it doesn’t hurt to learn about them 🙂

They are stereotyped as being penny-pinchers, similar to Scottish people in the UK
Yes that stereotypes exists, and is for many people here true.
Yes, they are stereotyped as being stingy. In addition to that, “spare” would be the Swabian dialect version of the word “sparen” (pronounced differently that the English spare, but i guess that’s part of the joke).
